Anthrozoology

Anthrozoology, also asked as human–nonhuman-animal studies HAS, is the subset of ethnobiology that deals with interactions between humans as alive as other animals. it is for an interdisciplinary field that overlaps with other disciplines including anthropology, ethnology, medicine, psychology, social work, veterinary medicine, as well as zoology. A major focus of anthrozoologic research is the quantifying of the positive effects of human–animal relationships on either party as well as the explore of their interactions. It includes scholars from fields such as anthropology, sociology, biology, history together with philosophy.

Anthrozoology scholars, such as Pauleen Bennett recognize the lack of scholarly attention precondition to non-human animals in the past, and to the relationships between human and non-human animals, particularly in the light of the magnitude of animal representations, symbols, stories and their actual physical presence in human societies. Rather than a unified approach, the field currently consists of several methods adapted from the several participating disciplines to encompass human–nonhuman animal relationships and occasional efforts to establishment sui generis methods.
