Abstract

This paper arose from a discussion of Maria Kronfeldner?s book What?s Left of Human Nature? In it, I am chiefly concerned with two things: the role that other animals are afforded in discussions about and attempts at defining ?human nature?, and a critique of the concept of nature that is utilized in the book. Furthermore, I view science as storytelling practice, and scholarly narratives about ?human nature? as important stories in order to pose the question of accountability of telling such stories in the Anthropocene.
