The territorial imperative

by Robert Ardrey

The storm of enthusiastic approval, on the one hand, and scathing denunciations, on the other, provoked by African Genesis, has been matched in intensity by the furor over The Territorial Imperative. An intensive study of man's evolutionary nature and its profound implications, The Territorial Imperative "is an important and always challenging volume."
