This Simian World

This Simian World

by Clarence Day

This Simian World is a satirical novel that explores the idea of what the world would be like if humans had not become the dominant species, but instead another species such as apes, cats, or dogs had evolved to fill that role. Clarence Day Jr., best known for his work Life with Father, takes a humorous and thought-provoking look at the ways in which our society and culture might have developed differently under such circumstances.
