Inhaltsangabe

This book explores the unique characteristics and behaviors of simian species, from the perspective of a future observer who believes humans evolved from simian ancestors. The author examines various animals, including lemurs, ants, bees, cats, and elephants, to determine which traits would have made them strong candidates to rule the world. Ultimately, the author concludes that none of these species exhibited the ideal combination of curiosity, adaptability, and desire necessary for such a feat. Instead, the author suggests that humans' simian ancestry may explain our excessive inquisitiveness, our thirst for knowledge, and our tendency to overvalue trivial matters. This book takes a thought-provoking look at the evolutionary history of humanity, and offers insights into the unique qualities that have shaped our species.

Excerpt from This Simian World, the Crow's Nest, Thoughts Without Words, God and My Father: In the Green Mountain Country, Scenes From the Mesozoic Life With Father After All Life With Mother Life With Father, Made Into a Play

Last Sunday, Potter took me out driving along upper Broadway, where those long rows of tall new apartment houses were built a few years ago. It was a mild afternoon and great crowds of people were out. Sunday afternoon crowds. They were not going anywhere, they were just strolling up and down, staring at each other, and talking. There were thousands and thousands of them.
