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.

Very good
My second Diamond's book (first being gun germ and steel), same as his previous book, the third chimp took me a grand tour exploring humans civilization and development around major parts of the world. This book covers from pre-civilize period the explore why and how human are unique from chimp and other animals, and how these characteristics made us what we are now.
