At school he wrote fan letters to primatologists and even taught himself Swahili, all with the hope of one day joining his primate brethren in Africa. But when, at the age of twenty-one, Sapolky's dream finally comes true he discovers that the African bush bears little resemblance to the tranquillity of a museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is the story of the next twenty-one years as Sapolsky slowly infiltrates and befriends a troop of Savannah baboons. Alone in the middle of the Serengeti with no electricity, running water or telephone, and surviving countless scams, culinary atrocities and a surreal kidnapping, Sapolsky becomes ever more enamoured with his adopted baboon troop - unique and compelling characters in their own right - and he returns to them summer after summer, until tragedy finally prevails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExhilarating, hilarious and poignant,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Primate's Memoir\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a uniquely honest window into the coming-of-age of one of our greatest scientific minds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clapping Pages","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45157188042938,"sku":"2PKE7E8E9-Used","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5576\/0826\/files\/APrimate_sMemoir.jpg?v=1758046928","url":"https:\/\/clappingpages.com\/products\/a-primates-memoir","provider":"Clapping Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
