In fact, the genetic codes of human beings and gibbons are 95 percent alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut gibbons have long been invisible in the West. In this first-of-its-kind book, noted author John Steckley sets out to remedy that situation. As you'll discover, gibbons are extraordinary brachiators--their ability to swing rapidly through the forest from tree to tree would put even Spider-Man to shame--as well as beautiful singers and doting parents. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteckley introduces us to the diverse and enchanting group of gibbons he himself has met personally, including the fun-loving and impish Penelope, as well as gibbons elsewhere who have played prominent roles in gibbon (and human) affairs. By the time you've finished \u003ci\u003eGibbons: The Invisible Apes\u003c\/i\u003e, the small apes (as Steckley calls them) will never be invisible to you again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49545621405969,"sku":"GOR013649917","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50390060368145,"sku":"CIN1772440078A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51049218081041,"sku":"NIN9781772440072","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1772440078.jpg?v=1751025850","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/gibbons-book-john-steckley-9781772440072","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
