Book
The third chimpanzee : the evolution and future of the human animal / Jared Diamond.
Though 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.
