"Rhetorical scholarship has for decades relied solely on culture to explain persuasive
behavior. While this focus allows for deep explorations of historical circumstance,
it neglects the powerful effects of biology on rhetorical behavior how our bodies
and brains help shape and constrain rhetorical acts. Not only is the cultural model
incomplete, but it tacitly endorses the fallacy of human exceptionalism. By introducing
evolutionary biology into the study of rhetoric, this book serves as a model of a
biocultural paradigm. Being mindful of biological and cultural influences allows for
a deeper view of rhetoric, one that is aware of the ubiquity of persuasive behavior
in nature. Human and nonhuman animals, and even some plants, persuade to survive to
live, love, and cooperate. That this broad spectrum of rhetorical behavior exists
in the animal world demonstrates how much we can learn from evolutionary biology.
By incorporating scholarship on animal signaling into the study of rhetoric, the author
explores how communication has evolved, and how numerous different species of animals
employ similar persuasive tactics in order to overcome similar problems. This cross-species
study of rhetoric allows us to trace the origins of our own persuasive behaviors,
providing us with a deeper history of rhetoric that transcends the written and the
televised, and reveals the artifacts of our communicative past"
