(NO MORE THAN 5 BOOKS PER ORDER OR PARCEL ALLOWED) - Did belong to a library before and book has the usual library goodies - Unclipped wrapper (R 2.50) still very good - 226 pg. - Introduction by Robert Ardley >>> Eugene Marais was an Afrikaner who in the course of his lifetime was a journalist, lawyer, poet, and amateur naturalist. The Soul of the Ape, written in the early '20's and only unearthed decades later, represents Marais' interpretations of higher primate behavior based on three years of living in close proximity to a tribe of wild chacma baboons in the years following the Boer War. It is full of insights ethologists are teaching today. It is a fascinating study of the personality of a man who clearly did do some remarkable things, did believe in man's "animal nature" and saw many grounds for comparison between baboon and human behavior. His own nature was infected with gloom and sadness, and so not surprisingly, he saw such emotional shadowings in the primates. Baboons and man both get depressed, need drugs, exhibit sexual behavior at variance with other mammals. Marais considered some of these patterns of behavior and others as related to the evolution of adaptive behavior, or "causal memory," which he thought was in deepest conflict with instinctive hereditary behavior geared toward "narrow" selection. Marais was a morphine addict who committed suicide in 1936.
