In 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, forever changing the course of world history. The clash of European and Native American ideas about the animal world shaped the two cultures and led to transformations—both destructive and creative—on both sides of the Atlantic.

How did the discovery of the New World change the nature of human-animal relationships? How were these relationships reflected in art and world culture? How did domestication practices transform European culture and pave the way for zoological science? And what lies behind our deep attachment to our beloved pets?

This remarkable story, at times filled with tragedy and, at the same time, hope, tells the story of how humans and animals learned to understand each other anew in the vast expanses of the New World and the European continent.
