Ape Mind, Old Mind, New Mind is a story of discovery about the minds of our ancestral species told by a psychiatrist who believes that severe mental illnesses disable the ordinary social emotions that have knit primate, early hominin and our own societies together. The book shows us where to look within ourselves for deeply ancient fears and feelings of intimacy. As the author walks us beyond the science in his journey of exploration of the mind, the "inside" story of human evolution emerges as an epic struggle for a just society.
