Is it possible to predict what an alien civilization will be like based on our knowledge of zoology? Our guest on this episode of Inquiry is DR. ARIK KERSHENBAUM, zoologist, college lecturer, and fellow at Girton College, University of Cambridge. His new book is THE ZOOLOGIST’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY: WHAT ANIMALS ON EARTH REVEAL ABOUT ALIENS-AND OURSELVES. Dr. Kershenbaum believes that though we cannot predict what an intelligent extraterrestrial may look like, we can make some educated guesses about how the aliens live and act. Skeptical? Tune in and listen.
