The Role of Rhetoric in Politics and the Media

Humans have never been alone. This book explores how different animals and their characteristics shaped living conditions, social evolution, civilization, culture, artifacts, religion – everything. Our societies would not be what they are without our cooperation with other species. Animals interest us and ignite our enthusiasm. In this book, we learn about strange and wonderful animals from the Ice Age to the Viking Age, through archaeological discoveries, art and written sources. Animals are closely linked to the human world, both in real life through hunting and agriculture, and through ideas expressed in myths and rituals. The book examines the nature of animals - animals in essence - and how they have shaped the development of our societies over time. Humans and animals are closely linked, and the book presents fascinating stories of their close connections in the past. The book also tells famous stories from Norse mythology, such as the story of the ravens Hugin and Munin, based on written sources and archaeological discoveries.
