The rise of social media and popular press articles on the Internet has done wonders to make the field of animal cognition more visible and accessible to those outside of academia. In addition to animal cognition findings being used to change how we legally treat and view animals, the field of animal cognition has ushered in an exciting shift in the value of the work. Not everyone in animal cognition’s history has subscribed to practice of a diverse interdisciplinary perspective, and especially not psychologists who were trained and working during the behaviorist movement. Humans have changed the planet in the last few hundred years into something that is almost unrecognizable. For a long time, feelings of human superiority prevented us from learning about other species for the sake of learning about them. This concluding chapter discusses technological advancements; interdisciplinary collaborations; and human induced rapid environmental change.
