Description
Raymond Tallis' Aping Mankind is a thought-provoking critique of the current understanding of human nature. He argues that our attempts to explain ourselves through neuroscience and evolutionary theory oversimplify our complexity, reducing us to mere biological organisms. Tallis contends that this approach denies human uniqueness and minimises the differences between humans and our animal cousins. In his book, he presents a compelling case for a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be human. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new preface by the author, offering further insights into his arguments.
