The Well-dressed Ape : A Natural History Of Myself

  • The Well-dressed Ape : A Natural History Of Myself
  • Attribution

    by Hannah Holmes
  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Random House, 2008
  • Description

    In this surprising, humorous, and edifying book, Holmes explores how the human animal?the eponymous well-dressed ape?fits into the natural world, even as we humans change that world in both constructive and destructive ways. Comparing and contrasting the biology and behavior of humans with that of other creatures, Holmes demonstrates our position as an animal among other animals, a product of?and subject to?the same evolutionary processes. At the same time, Holmes reveals the ways in which Homo sapiens stands apart from other mammals and, indeed, all other animals. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
