§ About the book

The Descent of Man looks at the emergence of humans in terms of primate evolution. Charles Darwin focuses on the origin and history of our own species, claiming that humans are closest in ancestry to African chimpanzees and gorillas. Darwin presents a strictly mechanistic and materialistic interpretation of the human animal that is free from superstition and spiritualism.
