The Well-Dressed Ape: A Natural History of Myself
This breezy though well-written look at humans through the lens of a naturalist was a lot of fun. It's not often that one has the opportunity to read about one's own species as another interesting animal. Like Holmes, I find humanity's evils a little easier to forgive when they are viewed in context of our animal heritage, and our altruism more noble. A solid, engaging, occasionally funny book. Recommended.
