Book Reviews of The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal (P.S.)

Book Review: a fascinating account of human similarities to animals
Summary: 5 Stars

This book opened my eyes to various traits once considered unique to humans over animals. Mr. Diamond lists and provides examples from the animal kingdom which debunk our ideas of uniqueness. I found the text lucid, thought-provoking, and occasionally very humorous. If you think you are in control of your ideas and ethics, then this book is a neccesary read.
