The power of Marais is not so much that he has explicated a complete theory of (in Ardrey´s words) ¨..the evolutionary theory of the subconscious mind in man¨, but that he was possibly the first to set out to do so, that he built his theory on direct observation of primates in the wild, and that although his entire life was lived under the shadow of tragedy he managed to do so much. Reading this book is not so much an exercise in coming to grips with evolutionary psychology, but a homage - an extended dedication is it were - to a man who perhaps better than many perceived the frailty and potential of mankinds´ character and intelligence.
One hopes that someday someone will reissue Marais´ short stories about baboon life (originally published as ´My Friends the Baboons´) alongside this manuscript, with Ardrey´s introduction (and a more sympathetic cover illustration). ( )
