Mcdonald; MPATo be sure; much of the ethological and biological information to be found within the text is dated; given the rapid advances of the natural sciences today; nevertheless; Professor Goodalls book is both articulate and provocative to the attentive reader; remaining as prescient today as it was when it was first published.Personally; I decided to purchase In the Shadow of Man after reading R. Foutss book Next of Kin -- from a purely aesthetic perspective; the two were equally matched; however; on a personal (i.e. inter- and intrasubjective) level; I preferred Foutss book. Despite this; In the Shadow of Man is a text which I found to be well worth reading. Whether you are a student of theology and philosophy (like myself); ethology and biology; anthropology and sociology; or; perhaps you are simply interested in some light summer reading; the text is both personal and accessible.Perhaps the greatest delights any reader will discover when they open this book are: the indomitable potential they themselves have bottled-up within their own heart; the profundity of insights to be gleaned from the active study of our closest living evolutionary relatives; and the power Professor Goodalls experiences have to shape and change how we humans view ourselves within such a vast and diverse cosmos as the one in which we find ourselves.While there are numerous texts (such as the aforementioned Next of Kin) which tell a similar story to that of In the Shadow of Man; Professor Goodalls experiences; and how she shares them to this day; are imminently unique. As with those other texts; In the Shadow of Man; if nothing else; will serve to foster the "adequate anthropology" Pope Francis called for in his encyclical Laudato si ; and thereby our species may yet learn how we are to live in the cosmos when we finally prescind from axio-ontic; and subsequent ethical; anthropocentrism.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
