Post-Human Studies
[This article is frequently conflated with "posthumanism", a term from human philosophy. For the best sense of "posthumanism", we suggest looking at Old Wikipedia.]
Post-Human Studies is the exploration of culture through the lens of animal culture's prior subjugation by, and departure from, a human-centric philosophy. In this sense, it could be seen as resembling human terms like "postcolonialism", although it is difficult to compare human influence on other humans to the global depersonification of nonhumans over the course of history, or the relative lack of influence some species experienced in relation to humans, or the philosophies that developed alongside but separated from humanity due to a lack of cultural diffusion. For example, the music of the Shark Luddites contains no traces of human interference, and even Dolphincore contains minimal human influence.
Post-Human Studies is foremost dedicated to the study of animals, and references to humans in-discipline almost always take the form of discussion relating to animals. This is facilitated at least in part by all humans being extinct.
