Summary "From Monkey to Man, or, Society in the Tertiary Age" by Austin Bierbower is a prehistoric novel written in the early 20th century. The work explores the imagined lives of our ancestors during the Tertiary Age, focusing on a fictional race known as the Ammi, who are depicted as emerging from apes. The narrative blends themes of evolution with the beginnings of society, showcasing the development of industry, commerce, and social structures alongside primitive conflicts with other creatures. The opening of the novel sets the stage by introducing Sosee, a young girl of the Ammi, who is distressed by the kidnapping of her sister, Orlee, by a baboon. As Sosee recounts this event, she expresses her determination to rescue Orlee, inspiring Koree, her lover, to join her on this mission. The narrative features a mix of action, humor, and dramatized evolutionary themes, discussing the dynamics of love, bravery, and early societal structures among these early humans, as they navigate dangers from both the environment and their primate relatives, illustrating the struggles that defined their existence. This introduction hints at a blend of adventure and sociocultural commentary as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
