After the creature is lost at sea during a typhoon, Konga washes ashore on a prehistoric island, where he battles a Tyrannosaurus before facing a volcanic apocalypse.

In "Return of Konga," Bob Stanley carries on the late Doctor Decker’s work in a remote Australian lab, where he reactivates the growth serum and transforms Sandra’s pet monkey into the colossal Konga. After the giant ape washes ashore on a mysterious prehistoric island, he faces off against a Tyrannosaurus before the island itself erupts in chaos. The story unfolds with a thrilling mix of scientific ambition and primal survival, set against the backdrop of a forgotten world.
This 1961 non-fiction story traces humanity's journey from primeval ape-creatures through the process of evolution, charting the emergence of tool-using walking ape-men and the various branches of early human ancestors. Follow the fascinating progression through the glacial ages as sub-men and Neanderthal varieties walked the earth, leading eventually to the development of Cro-Magnon man and true modern humans. It's a compelling look at our species' heritage—from jungle origins to civilization itself.
