Ape Mind, Old Mind, New Mind is a story of discovery about the minds of our ancestral species told by a psychiatrist who believes that severe mental illnesses disable the ordinary social emotions that have knit primate, early hominin and our own societies together. The book shows us where to look within ourselves for deeply ancient fears and feelings of intimacy. As the author walks us beyond the science in his journey of exploration of the mind, the "inside" story of human evolution emerges as an epic struggle for a just society.

Dr. John Wylie has a BA in history from Yale and an MD from Columbia. After two years of surgical training, he was inspired by the writings of Carl Jung to switch to psychiatry and completed his psychiatric residency at Georgetown University. He began his career at Patuxent Institution, a maximum-security prison in Maryland with a treatment program, then spent 35 years in private practice in Washington, DC, where he served as the chair of the department of psychiatry at Sibley Memorial Hospital. He retired in 2007 and wrote "Diagnosing and Treating Mental Illness: A Guide for Physicians, Nurses, Patients, and Their Families," published in 2010 (second edition, 2012). Dr. Wylie was a founding member of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society.
