The Universal Kinship by J. Howard Moore

"The Universal Kinship" by J. Howard Moore is a philosophical work published in 1906. Drawing on Darwinian evolutionary science, Moore argues that humans share deep physical, mental, and emotional connections with all sentient beings. He challenges anthropocentric ethics and proposes extending the Golden Rule beyond humanity to include all animals. The book advocates for a revolutionary moral framework recognizing our shared evolutionary ancestry and ethical responsibilities toward other creatures, calling for compassionate treatment of all life based on universal kinship rather than human exceptionalism.
