"Humans are bipolar apes. We have something of the gentle, sexy bonobo . . . And our species also has something of the brutal, domineering chimpanzee . . ." (Frans de Waal, The Age of Empathy).

Being Human: Call of the Wild has been published by Editions Bibliotekos. Worth reading if you are at this site, since the stories (15) have been culled from over 1,000 pages to reflect (in the true conversation of a good anthology) some of the evolutionary themes we contemplate.

Our sister, Editions Bibliotekos, is on the brink of publishing a fourth anthology - Being Human: Call of the Wild. Make sure to pick up your copy. Twelve authors and fifteen short stories. (More information, when available, will appear on http://www.ebibliotekos.com/)

We have begun receiving and publishing guest posts - thank you all. We will list them on the page, Popular Posts.
