| Book Subtitle | How Our Animal Heritage Affects The Way We Live |
| Book Description | From the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Guns, Germs and Steel More than 98 % of human genes are shared with two species of chimpanzee. The 'third' chimpanzee is man. Jared Diamond surveys our 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. |
| Editorial Review | Eloquent and knowledgeable account of the tiny genetic difference between humans and chimps * Independent * "Some biologists are just scientists; but some truly are thinkers. Jared Diamond is one of the latter. Whatever he applies himself to, his contribution is original and worthwhile" -- Colin Tudge "A fascinating portrait with more than enough uncomfortable facts to stop any dinner-party conversation in its tracks - an important book" * Financial Times * "Confirms Diamond as an impressive scholar and popularizer-an enjoyable, stimulating and audacious book" * Nature * |
| About the Author | Jared Diamond is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel, which was named one of TIME's best non-fiction books of all time, the number one international bestseller Collapse and most recently The World UntilYesterday.
