Breaking down the science of anthropomorphism

Scientist and professor Justin Gregg joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss his new book, "Human-ish: What Talking to Your Cat or Naming Your Car Reveals About the Uniquely Human Need to Humanize." He explains why we talk to pets, name objects, and even connect with inflatable tube men — and what that reveals about human nature. Each weekday morning, "CBS Mornings" co-hosts Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson bring you the latest breaking news, smart conversation and in-depth feature reporting. "CBS Mornings" airs weekdays at 7 a.m. on CBS and stream it at 8 a.m. ET on the CBS News app. Subscribe to "CBS Mornings" on YouTube:    / cbsmornings   Watch CBS News 24/7: https://cbsnews.com/live/ Download the CBS News app: https://cbsnews.com/mobile/ Follow "CBS Mornings" on Instagram:   / cbsmornings   Like "CBS Mornings" on Facebook:   / cbsmornings   Follow "CBS Mornings" on X:   / cbsmornings   Subscribe to our newsletter: https://cbsnews.com/newsletters/ Try Paramount+ free: https://paramountplus.com/?ftag=PPM-0...
