Customer Reviews of How to Tell Your Friends from the Apes
A masterpiece of very dry humor and amazing facts Cuppy again produced another largely unheralded masterpiece with this book. His humor is extremely subtle in many places, which may explain some of this neglect. His method was to read everything, from the best known to the most obscure, then write an essay of about two pages. At his best, he can have you laughing again and again. Just consider the footnote that ends his very short essay on the Cro-Magnon Man: "Perhaps we of today are inclined to overestimate the intellectual powers of the Cro-Magnons, who lived at least 25,000 years ago. As some of my readers may recall, even so recently as twenty or thirty years ago people knew hardly anything. For earlier data one has but to glance at the family album."
What else can we add, except to note that he covers the other primates, various birds, fair to medium mammals and awful mammals?
This is one book not to miss.
