Primat notes: the extraordinary life of a scientist among the baboons. Sapolski R.

This book is memories of more than twenty years of acquaintance of the famous primatologist Robert Sapolsky with East Africa. Being a very young scientist, the author first came to the reserve in Kenya with the intention of checking his guesses about the nature of stress in people in wilds, which is not surprising, given how similar primates are in their biological and psychological reactions.

Together with the author who gave their favorites biblical names, we learn about their life, suffering, love, rivalry, struggle for power, diseases and death. No less vivid characters of the book are local residents: farmers, huntsmen, small bosses and simple hard workers.

for two decades in Africa, Sapolski is experiencing their own dangerous adventures, and the tragedies of friends, and the change of political regimes - and writes about This is that you feel almost a participant in the events.
