African Genesis is a 1961 non-fiction work by Robert Ardrey about the origins of mankind. This book and The Territorial Imperative (1966) are two of Ardrey's most widely read works. These books, as well as Desmond Morris' work The Naked Ape (1967), were key elements in the public discourse of the 1960s that challenged earlier anthropological assumptions. Ardrey's ideas notably influenced Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick in the development of 2001: A Space Odyssey,[1][2][3][4] as well as Sam Peckinpah, to whom Strother Martin gave copies of two of Ardrey's books.[5][6][7][8][9]

Drawing heavily from the work of Robert Ardrey, controversial sociologist and author of 'African Genesis' and 'The Territorial Imperative,' Peckinpah ascribed to the belief that man is by nature territorial, brutal and elementally animal.
