The Human Apes

Synopsis

"Suppose that in the gorilla country of Africa there survives a group of descendants of Cro-Magnon man. This group mastered and then rejected mere technology ... [and] has spent the last 6,000 years camouflaging itself behind a screen of gorilla-like physical characteristics and secretly working toward a triple goal ...". An ordinary-human expedition to study gorillas discovers the human apes. Social-science-fiction, with hard science of the "magic hypodermic variety". --review by Georgess McHargue NY Times 1973-04-08 p423
