Not simplistic... deals with the inner reality of our nature
Like the Chimpanzees, we descend from apes. Like the chimpanzees, we inherit ape-like behavioral tendencies.

Simplistic view of our past
The Ape-Man Within offers a simplistic view of our pre-historic past. Nothing is explained just presupposed. Readers should do better to take a look at writers like Alexander, R.D. Leakey, R. or Stephen Gould to understand something of our human nature and the way we evolved. Michael Olson.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Ape-Man Within (Hardcover)
Like the Chimpanzees, we descend from apes. Like the chimpanzees, we inherit ape-like behavioral tendencies. This scares a lot of people, so they attack any idea that suggests that we are anything other than a docile species, easily brainwashed into gentleness and conformity. The entire weight of human history says otherwise, and supports the conclusions of this book. A good book, but the insecure reader should avoid it.
