uderecife's review against another edition
3.0
The book, in the version I got, is a bit outdated. However, it has some interesting parts that, at least for me, were worth considering.
Nonetheless, this is not for everyone, for it has strong opinions and a very clear ecological agenda. That, in itself, is not a bad thing. But you're not going to get a completely unbiased picture of its main subject. However, given that we are facing such a humongous environmental crisis, the taking of strong stances may well be the only possible course to force a change in the reader's perception.

The Book From Naked Ape to Superspecies is a discussion of humanity and some of the negatives of capitalism. Well written and discusses large topics in a succinct and engaging format. There is a lot of information presented throughout the book which makes it slow to read in some places but overall there is a lot to take away from Naked Ape to Superspecies and would recommend to anyone interested in human impact on the environment and the future of humanity.
