5 QUESTIONS OF INQUISITIVE APES Hello fellow readers, I recently happened to read the book "5 questions of the inquisitive apes" written by Mr. Subhrashis Adhikari. And this is what I want to say about the book: Blurb: Humans ascended to the top of the food chain through their uncanny ability to weave stories.

It is such stories that have steered the history of the world, while technologies are bringing disruptive changes and global warming is threatening our existence, it is more imperative than ever before to craft a global story that benefits all.
