The Third Chimpanzee by Jared Diamond explores the evolution of human beings. Reader’s familiar with other books by Diamond,
notably Guns, Germs, and Steel will find some of the concepts he covers very
familiar. He seems to have elaborated
on ideas introduced here in subsequent books.
All in all it is a fascinating look at an interesting topic that is
aimed at the layman. Some of the
theories covered appear to be dated but as long as the reader keeps that in
mind the book is fine.
