A Primate's Memoir : Love, Death and Baboons in East Africa

A Primate's Memoir : Love, Death and Baboons in East Africa

2001 • 306 pages

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would! Mainly because I am not particularly interested in baboons. Apparently neither was Robert Sapolsky before he started studying them (he was hoping to study the more manly mountain gorilla), but he made the story of this baboon troop ridiculously, soap opera-ishly compelling. Plus some insights about Africa and human nature OR WHATEVER.
