Evolution Man: Or, How I Ate My Father
Evolution Man Or How I Ate My Father
Author: Roy Lewis
"Artfully told and laugh-out-loud funny", says the Los Angeles Times Book Review of this long out-of-print novel--now being rediscovered. Lewis's hilarious tale of one Stone Age family offers highly-revised accounts of the invention of fire, the origins of courtship, and much more. Charles Darwin may turn over in his grave.

Very clever. Evolving man is self aware and says things like, "We'll never get out of the pleistocene era if we don't evolve." Grampa thinks they should stay in the trees. Evolution man learns to bring fire back from a volcano but if the fire goes out he has to go back to the volcano. His boys each have different skills, e.g. cave painting, flint knapping, etc. They still court by hitting women over the head and dragging them by the hair. A fun read.

Not a hard book to read but so boring that I finally put it down.
