I've been in the field of animal behavior for a long time and I am not a "behaviorist" in the strict sense of that term, rather I am extremely aware that the arrogance (and hubris) of Homo Sapiens has relegated all other living creatures into a group defined by mechanistic terms and that this is WRONG and a huge error on our part. Sheldrake has taken the information well known to any working professional in this field and formed an elaborate, and credible, explanation; this book represents only part of his efforts. Morphic resonance and morphogenetic fields may be proven, at some point in the future, to be only a part of a very much larger "story" of all living entities on this planet, as is the "story" of evolution. There is definitely a communication among all living species and definitely (proven) among living species (including plants). This is one step forward in the consciousness of Homo Sapiens, hopefully toward a fuller understanding of what *Life* is all about.
