Book description
Book-smart and more than a little naive, Robert Sapolsky left the
comforts of college in the US for a research project studying a troop
of baboons in Kenya. Whether he's relating his adventures with his
neighbours, Masai tribesmen, or his experiences learning how to sneak
up and dart suspicious baboons, Sapolsky combines irreverence and
humour with the best credentials in his field.
A Primate's Memoir is the culmination of over two decades of
experience and research - an exhilarating, hilarious and daring
memoir, and an astonishing masterpiece of the people and nature of Africa.
Robert Sapolsky is Professor of Biology and Neurology at Stanford
University, and a research associate with the Institute of Primate
Research, National Museums of Kenya. He lives in San Francisco.
