Descent of Man, by T. C. Boyle
Descent of Man is the title story from a collection by T. C. Boyle. It's been pretty thoroughly reviewed, or at least the collection has--that's what you get when you are a highfalutin National Book Award etc. nominated mainstream author. Whether the story deserves more attention for that I don't know, but it is kind of clever and funny. Descent of Man and Rise of Ape. Planet of the Apes? Not really, but fun enough to read and very witty, if you like that sort of thing. Just 2 stars from me, though.
