The Third Chimpanzee was first published in 1991 and has been in
print ever since. This new, illustrated edition is aimed at a young
readership. In it, Jared Diamond explores what makes us human and
poses fascinating questions. If we share more than 98% of our DNA
with chimpanzees, how is it that we can write, read, talk, build
telescopes and bombs, while we put our speechless and bomb-less
close relatives in cages and zoos? What can woodpeckers teach us
about spacecraft? Is genocide a human invention? Why does
extinction matter? Why are we destroying the natural resources on
which we depend for survival? What hope is there for future
generations? Not only is The Third Chimpanzee a mind-boggling
survey of how we came to be, but it is also a plea to the next
generation to "make better decisions than their parents and get us
out of the mess we're in."
