«The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee» is the popular science essay by Jared Diamond, published by Vintage in paperback (368 pages, in English).
The starting point is that we share more than 98% of our genes with the two chimpanzee species, which is why Jared Diamond describes us as the 'third chimpanzee'. Drawing on the life cycle, culture, sexuality and destructive behaviours of our species, he analyses what we retain from our animal origins, what makes us uniquely human, and how that influences our relationship with nature.
Work published in 1992, winner of the Royal Society Science Book Prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
For readers interested in human evolution, anthropology and popular science.
