Description
Book SynopsisShows that childhood is a necessary part of human evolution and compares the characteristics of human children to those of other juvenile primates.
Trade Review'This book is as much a romance of apes and humans as it is a science documentary. I could not put it down. I have read a lot about human evolution but this book holds more than the bare facts. It is a philosophy that helps you understand yourself, your species, children and apes. A great book for adults and children to work through together.'
-- Education Otherwise, December 2005
'A delightful little book in the tradition of Goethean science. Persuasively argued. Kipp teaches the need for deeper self-observation of human biology and its spiritual underpinning.'
-- Martin Lockley, Scientific & Medical Network Review, Spring 2005
