Leakey, the chairman of FROM, discussed several areas for investigation, including the point at which man and ape diverged in the evolutionary sequence, the causes of the brain enlargement of man and his most recent ancestors, and the origins of primitive art. He also argued that it was the move to a bipedal stance--not the development of tool-making or the enlargement of the brain--that spurred man's evolution...
What if none of this matters? That is the troubling question Stone raises throughout the novel. He vividly portrays high adventure, but then makes it look of no more account than what the cynical Marty Nolan calls "a catalogue of ape behavior."

And rumor has it that she even took off her shirt to wrestle with an alligator, but, alas, that scene was left on the cutting room floor by censors...
