«The First Chimpanzee: In Search of Human Origins» is the popular science essay by John Gribbin and Jeremy Cherfas, in paperback (336 pages).
The authors argue that humans are a sister species of chimpanzees and gorillas, with a more recent common ancestor than was previously thought. This revised edition of The Monkey Puzzle explains why apes returned to the trees while humans evolved and whether a 1% difference in DNA can explain human civilisation.
Second edition, published by Penguin Books Ltd in March 2001, in English, with bibliography and index.
Aimed at general readers interested in human evolution and biology.
