Description
A remarkable account of twenty-one years in the African bush, A Primate's Memoir is a unique and honest window into the life of renowned scientist Robert Sapolsky. Born in Brooklyn, Sapolsky grew up with a fascination for primates, and his dream of living among them finally came true when he moved to Africa at the age of twenty-one.
Despite the harsh realities of life in the Serengeti, Sapolsky formed a deep bond with a troop of Savannah baboons, learning to navigate the complexities of their social hierarchy and observing their behavior with remarkable insight. This is a story of friendship, survival, and tragedy, told with humor, humility, and a deep respect for the natural world.
Part memoir, part scientific study, A Primate's Memoir is a captivating and poignant account of one man's journey into the heart of the African wilderness.
