The Ape that Understood the Universe is the story of the strangest
animal in the world: the human animal. It opens with a question:
How would an alien scientist view our species? What would it make
of our sex differences, our sexual behavior, our altruistic
tendencies, and our culture? The book tackles these issues by
drawing on two major schools of thought: evolutionary psychology
and cultural evolutionary theory. The guiding assumption is that
humans are animals, and that like all animals, we evolved to pass
on our genes. At some point, however, we also evolved the capacity
for culture - and from that moment, culture began evolving in its
own right. This transformed us from a mere ape into an ape capable
of reshaping the planet, travelling to other worlds, and
understanding the vast universe of which we're but a tiny, fleeting
fragment. Featuring a new foreword by Michael Shermer.
