After World War II* the question of
how to define a universal human nature
took on new urgency. Creatures of Cctirt
charts the rise and precipitous fall in
Cold War America of a theory that
attributed man’s evolutionary success
to his unique capacity for murder.
Lorraine JVIilam reveals how the scientists
who advanced this ckiller ape” theory capi-
talized on an expanding postwar market in
intellectual paperbacks and widespread faith
in the power of science to solve humanity’s
problems, even to answer the most funda-
mental questions of human identity. The killer
ape theory spread quickly from colloquial
science publications to late-night television,
classrooms, political debates, and Hollywood
films. Behind tbe scenes, however, scientists
were sharply divided, their disagreements
centering squarely on questions of race
and gender. Then, in the 1970s, the theory
unraveled altogether when primatologists
discovered that chimpanzees also kill mem-
bers of their own species. While the discov-
ery brought an end to definitions of human
exceptionalism delineated by violence, ZVlilam
shows how some evolutionists began to argue
for a shared chimpanzee-human history of
aggression even as other scientists discredited
such theories as sloppy popularizations.
rawing on a wealth of archival mate-
rials and in-depth interview's, Erika
A wide-ranging account of a compelling
episode in American science, C2~ccitm~cs of
Coin argues that the legacy of the hitler ape
persists today in the conviction that science
can resolve the essential dilemmas of human
nature.
