«Il più grande uomo scimmia del Pleistocene» is the humour novel by Roy Lewis, published by Adelphi in paperback (178 pages, in Italian).
A caveman named Ernest recalls the life of his eccentric family in prehistoric Africa, led by his father Edward, determined to speed up evolution by inventing fire, the spear and marriage. A novel of dry humour and deliberate anachronisms that turns the remote past into a mirror of debates on progress and nature.
It belongs to Adelphi's Fabula collection (no. 58) and is a translation by Carlo Brera of the 1960 English original 'The Evolution Man - Or, How I Ate My Father'.
For readers of English satire and humour: Terry Pratchett called it one of the funniest books of the last five hundred thousand years.
