The Rise And Fall Of The Third Chimpanzee Summary

The Rise And Fall Of The Third Chimpanzee: how our animal heritage affects the way we live by Jared Diamond

From the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Guns, Germs and Steel

More than 98 % of human genes are shared with two species of chimpanzee. The 'third' chimpanzee is man.

Jared Diamond surveys our life-cycle, culture, sexuality and destructive urges both towards ourselves and the planet to explore the ways in which we are uniquely human yet still influenced by our animal origins.

A fascinating portrait with more than enough uncomfortable facts to stop any dinner-party conversation in its tracks - an important book * Financial Times *
Confirms Diamond as an impressive scholar and popularizer-an enjoyable, stimulating and audacious book * Nature *
