What is How to Tell Your Friends From the Apes about?

<p><b>A survey of life on earth, in all its variety and pagentry, by a very annoyed humorist.</b><br><br>From early man, the Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon, to irascible observations on mankind and the animal kingdom today (including “Birds I Could Do Without”), Will Cuppy, a perennially perturbed hermit, is your guide in these are very funny essays.<br><br>For eight years, from 1921 to 1929, Will Cuppy lived alone on Jones Island, off Long Island’s South Shore. From that outpost, he gained a reputation for his factual but funny magazine articles and wrote the book, <b><i>How to be a Hermit</b></i>, his first bestseller. His last, <b><I>The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody</b></I>, was left unfinished after Cuppy’s death in 1949 and has become a classic of American humor. In between (among other titles) was this very funny collection. First published in 1931, the subjects include “What I Hate About Spring,” “Awful Mammals,” and “Why Be a Rhinoceros?” Great for anyone who loves classic American humor.</p>
