The word "speciesism" was first used in 1971 by psychologist richard Ryder to describe a bias in favour of human interests and against those of other species. He characterised the idea that humans are in a completely distinct moral category from other species as "sheer superstition" and came to the conclusion that "it may come to pass that enlightened minds may one day abhor'speciesism' as much as they now detest 'racism'." Both types of bias exhibit the same kind of illogic. The central idea of Peter Singer's influential book on animal liberation.
