Christine Webb is an American primatologist, animal behavior researcher, and environmental scholar. An Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at New York University, she studies the social behavior, cognition, and emotions of nonhuman primates while also examining how human exceptionalism has shaped scientific understanding of animals and the natural world. Her book *The Arrogant Ape* challenges the long-standing assumption of human superiority, drawing on contemporary research in animal behavior and evolution to present a more nuanced view of humanity's place within the living world.
