The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal

byJared Diamond

The Third Chimpanzee examines the Evolution and Future of the Human Animal, combining Jared Diamond's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
