This Simian World is a satirical and philosophical book written by Clarence Day Jr., originally published in 1920. The book is a commentary on human behavior and society, using the metaphor of monkeys to portray the absurdity and irrationality of human actions. Through a series of humorous and insightful essays, Day explores various aspects of human life, from politics and religion to love and family. He argues that humans are not as rational as they like to think and that we are often driven by primal instincts and emotions.The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of human behavior. Some of the topics covered include the role of women in society, the pursuit of wealth and power, and the search for meaning and purpose in life.Despite its humorous tone, This Simian World offers a sharp critique of human society and encourages readers to question their own beliefs and values. It is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to think beyond the surface level and consider the deeper motivations behind human behavior.Our monkey-blood is also apparent in our judgments of crime. If a crime is committed on impulse, we partly forgive it. Why? Because, being simians, with a weakness for yielding to impulses, we like to excuse ourselves by feeling not accountable for them. Elephants would have probably taken an opposite stand. They aren't creatures of impulse, and would be shocked at crimes due to such causes; their fault is the opposite one of pondering too long over injuries, and becoming vindictive in the end, out of all due proportion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

I begyndelsen af 1930'erne begyndte Clarence Day at skrive historier om sin far i magasinet The New Yorker. Historierne om en uregerlig Wall Street-mand, der kræver orden fra sin familie, blev så populære, at de var med til at redde The New Yorkers eksistens. Clarence Day formidler humoristisk hvordan faderen eksploderer imod alt fra sin familie over tjenestefolk til hans hest, hvis alt ikke går efter hans hoved. I dag står historierne, der her er samlet i én bog, stadig som et klassisk eksempel på humor og familieliv i USA. "Samliv med far" blev senere et klassisk teaterstykke og en populær tv-serie.Clarence Day (1874-1935) var en amerikansk forfatter og tegner. Efter en barndom i New York forfulgte han et liv som skribent, særligt inden for den humoristiske genre. Han skrev primært for The New Yorker, hvor han i mange år bidrog med humoristisk stof til det klassiske magasin.
