Sight Gag

Laurence M. Janifer  was an American science fiction author, with a career spanning over 50 years. Born Larry Mark Harris – a name used for his fiction until 1963 – he reverted to the old family name, which had been discarded by an immigration officer when Janifer's grandfather had gained entry to the America from Poland. Some of his non-sf books – mostly erotica – appeared under the pseudonyms Alfred Blake and Barbara Wilson; other pseudonyms (almost never for works in the fields of the fantastic) included Tom Beach, Andrew Blake, Robert J Cassiday, Bernal L Elliott, Laura Mae Jansen, William Logan, Kenneth Malone, Barry Miles and Thomas O'Connor. 

«Sight Gag» is a novel of Laurence M. Janifer, written in quickly and moved style. The main idea of the story is properly expressed by the preface: “Intelligence is a great help in the evolution-by-survival—but intelligence without muscle is even less useful than muscle without brains. But it's so easy to forget that muscle—plain physical force—is important, too!” Get prepared for a decent piece of speculative fiction!
