The book presents a re-reading of H. G. Wells' novel "The Island of
Doctor Moreau" as a key to addressing the controversies of our own
humanity. Ron Edwards is a broadly-experienced researcher and
teacher specializing in evolutionary theory, as well as a long-time
participant in animal care oversight at a leading research
institution. His careful examination in this book looks strictly at
the novel's actual story to rehabilitate it from the widespread
distorted version, and argues that the real story provides an
outstanding means to confront human exceptionalism, a prevailing
stopping-point for science and ethics. It integrates literature,
history, and science; it bluntly criticizes, discloses, and
advocates; and it combines accuracy with clarity, directed toward a
lay audience. Finally, the book also raises a genuinely new and
relevant issue: with human exceptionalism abolished, where do
ethics come from?
