Emory University biologist Jaap de Roode's new book explores the complex world of animal medication.

It details how chimpanzees, ants, bees, and even our pet cats can practice their own form of medicine.

The author hopes to show people that there is something real out there and that we should start looking for it purposefully.

de Roode's new book, Doctors by Nature, will be out on March 4th .

He talks about livestock experiments that let animals assemble their own diets and medicate themselves.

He says we can also benefit in other ways and for the animals’ benefit as well.
