This Simian World

by Clarence Day, Jr. (1874-1935)

Clarence Day, Jr., best known for his work Life with Father, presents a satirical speculation on how the world might be different if we apes had not risen to prominence, but rather one of the other species had become dominant in our place. (summary by Epistomolus)
