Critical Theory of Ethology

The application of Critical Theory to the study of animal behavior—examining how ethological concepts reflect human social values, how they've been used to naturalize hierarchy, and how they might be transformed. Critical Theory of Ethology asks: Do we project human social structures onto animals? How have concepts like "dominance hierarchies" been used to justify human inequality? What would ethology look like if it emphasized cooperation, mutual aid, and diversity? It doesn't reject ethology but insists it must be self-aware about its own projections.
"They study alpha wolves to explain human hierarchy. Critical Theory of Ethology asks: what if wolf packs are families, not dictatorships? The science reflected the society, not the animals. Critical theory insists on asking: what are we projecting onto nature? And whose interests does that projection serve?"
