Shun Umezawa's official book ``Darwin Incident Official: The Line Between Humans and Monkeys'' was released today, February 20th.
``Darwin Incident Formula: The Line Between Humans and Monkeys'' is a book that uses the ``Darwin Incident'' as a clue to unravel the latest circumstances at the ``boundary line''. Where is the dividing line between humans and creatures collectively known as apes, such as monkeys? We will explore the concept of family, promiscuity and fertility, hierarchy, theory of mind, and more from various perspectives with Takakazu Yumoto, professor emeritus at Kyoto University and director of the Japan Monkey Center.
"The Darwin Incident" is a story about Charlie, a "humanzee" born between a man and a chimpanzee, who faces the problems faced by "humans" such as terrorism, flames, and discrimination. It is being serialized in Monthly Afternoon (Kodansha), and a TV anime is currently being broadcast.
