The Zoologist's Guide to the Galaxy

The Zoologist’s Guide to the Galaxy by Arik Kershenbaum takes readers on a thought-provoking journey into the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Drawing on evolutionary biology, zoology, and ecology, the author explains how the same natural laws that shape life on Earth would likely influence life elsewhere in the universe.

Rather than relying on science fiction tropes, the book presents realistic theories about alien anatomy, behavior, intelligence, and communication. Accessible, witty, and scientifically grounded, it challenges readers to rethink what “alien” life might truly mean.

Ideal for readers interested in science, astronomy, biology, and the search for life beyond Earth.
