The Third Chimpanzee by Jared Diamond

3.0

I am a fan of Jared Diamond's writing and world-view and having read his other books, "Collapse" and "Guns, Germs, and Steel," both of which are more of a cultural critique and history of the human race, I was interested to see what he would make of the biological history of the race. Humans are the third chimpanzee and Diamond draws conclusions from the similarities and differences among the three living races of chimpanzees. I found it an interesting read, although I don't rate it as highly as the other two books I had read.
