Evolution Man: Or, How I Ate My Father

by 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.

This is one of my favorite books, for starters, it's hilarious, the way cave men think and feel in today's words made me feel the book a lot and interestingly follow their adventures discovering the precious things we long forgot about for how ordinary they became.It also simplifies human feelings, today's problems in a simple funny point of view.
My favorite quote is:
"-So fighting they were, but mating too.
-It's much of the same thing, i wonder what will come of it? Hairy...
