The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee: How Our Animal Heritage Affects the Way We Live by Jared Diamond
More than 98 percent of human genes are shared with two species of chimpanzee. The 'third' chimpanzee is man. Jared Diamond surveys out 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.
Winner of the 1992 Science Book Prize.
