African Genesis

Description for AFRICAN GENESIS: A PERSONAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE ANIMAL ORIGINS AND NATURE OF MAN by Robert Ardrey:

AFRICAN GENESIS presents a fascinating array of new scientific evidence, largely accumulated over the past thirty years, on the origins of man. It is, the author's unorthodox and intriguing theory that Homo sapiens developed from carnivorous, predatory killer apes and that man's age-old affinity for war and weapons is the natural result of this inherited animal instinct. AFRICAN GENESIS will long continue to be read and remembered not only for the startlingly radical ideas which it champions, but also for the exceptional clarity of its style and the sense of mounting excitement which it vividly generates.
