Robert Audrey--author of The Territorial Imperative and The Hunting Hypothesis, Desmond Morris--author of the Naked Ape and other who try to portray ancient man as the vicious truncheon-toting caveman caricatured in comic strips.

To an august body that views its deliberations as if they involved the affairs of God rather than those of men, the jeers were alarming-like rocks thrown through a stained-glass window. Moreover, this unseemly challenge to Nationalist orthodoxy underscored the vicious factional infighting that had taken place during the succession battle...
