Description:
More than 98 per cent of human genes are shared with the 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.
