Kurzbeschreibung

This pioneering work, originally published in 1972, was the first to argue irrefutably the equal role of women in human evolution.

Synopsis

This is a pioneering work, the first to argue for the equal role of women in human evolution. On its first publication in 1972 it became a rallying-point for feminism and changed the terminology of anthropologists forever. It remains a key text in feminist history, as well as an extension to the author's "Aquatic Ape Hypothesis", which is gaining more academic support each year. Starting with her demolition of the Biblical myth that woman was an afterthought to the creation of man, Elaine Morgan rewrites human history and evolution. This work is: a standard work in Women's Studies and Anthropology, a set text of most university syllabuses; a seminal work, that develops the argument of the international bestselling "The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis". Elaine Morgan receives consistent media attention, with a major BBC radio documentary on her work broadcast last year. The once-controversial "Aquatic Ape Theory" is gaining academic respect and Elaine Morgan is now accepted as one of the leading thinkers of the Twentieth century (and has received many honours for her work).

Evolution with logic! 14. Juni 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
This book left me feeling cheated, deeply and utterly cheated - that my Anthropology major had never mentioned, never once even alluded to the Aquatic Ape theory or to Elaine Morgan. This is the most sensible, logical explanation of how the human has evolved. As a feminist Anthropologist, I can honestly say that the androcentric attitudes toward the emergence of homonid from anthropoid are true. The "tarzanist" view of evolution is still ingrained in the minds of the general public, and as a great perpetuating machine it is taught in colleges and universities as the be-all, end-all theory of existence.

Not only do her words and theories make sense, Morgan feels no great compelling need to convolute her writing by trying to go above the heads of the general reader. Her style is ironic, satirical, and deeply humorous. Never have I enjoyed laughing at the stupidities of misogynistic academia more.

has some problems 14. November 1999
Von Ein Kunde

I really haven't paid any attention to evolutionary debates and whether the Aquatic Ape Theory is accepted or debunked or whether something else has risen to takes its place. However, I am left with the impression that the author has constructed a straw man to argue against and some of her claims and lines of argument are bothersome. She makes several claims that I am pretty sure are false: that only humans aggress against other humans, that only humans rape, that only humans have homosexuality and that this is because of the "lack of aim" engendered by the movement of the vagina. In her discussion of orgasm she is curiously silent on how other aquatic mammals deal with this movement of the vagina -- despite using them to bolster her argument in almost every other area. She makes the point that male primates don't initiate sex unless the female gives off certain signals but then later on claims that it was only male's continued rape in the absence of these signals that kept the human race going. She seems to want to have it both ways. Also her arguments about the rise of face-to-face sex don't address the fact that humans are still capable of performing in a variety of other positions when they feel like it with no apparent affect on rates of procreation.

In short, I think the first few chapters of her book are interesting and intriguing. Once she hits the chapters of orgasm and love I began to feel less convinced by her arguments. On the whole it was not an entirely convincing book because of the straw man feel she gives to her opponents but she certainly advances an interesting idea.

A quarter century ago, Elaine Morgan kept alive a theory of human origins which at the time was ignored by many. In hindsight, her bestseller appears prophetic. The theory that humans once passed through a semi-aquatic phase, which caused us to depart radically from the standard ape model (hairlessness, bipedality, subcutaneous fat, etc.), has gained increasing support from scientists. Harvard University recently invited her to speak on the theory. Her writing style is lively, iconoclastic, scientific, and always engaging. Her other works on the theory are equally great reading. Descent of Woman is a feministic classic as well as a scientific work.
