| 520 | . | ‡aThough we share 98 percent of our genes with the chimapnzee, our species evolved into something quiet extraordinary. Jared Diamond explores the facinating question of what in less than 2 percent of our genes has enabled us to found civilizations and religions, develop intricate languages, create art, learn science - and aquire the capacity to destroy all our achievements overnight. The Third Chimpanzee is a tour de force, an iconoclastic, entertaining, sometimes alarming look at the unique and marvelous creature that is the human animal. | |
