African Genesis: A Personal Investigation into the Animal Origins and Nature of Man

African Genesis: A Personal Investigation into the Animal Origins and Nature of Man, usually referred to as African Genesis, is a 1961 nonfiction work by the American writer Robert Ardrey. It posited the hypothesis that man evolved on the African continent from carnivorous, predatory ancestors who distinguished themselves from apes by the use of weapons.[1][2] The work bears on questions of human origins, human nature, and human uniqueness. Although some of his ideas were refuted by later science,[3][4] it was widely read and continues to inspire significant controversy.
