Review

Eloquent and knowledgeable account of the tiny genetic difference between humans and chimps (Independent )

Some biologists are just scientists; but some truly are thinkers. Jared Diamond is one of the latter. Whatever he applies himself to, his contribution is original and worthwhile (Colin Tudge )

A fascinating portrait with more than enough uncomfortable facts to stop any dinner-party conversation in its tracks - an important book (Financial Times )

Confirms Diamond as an impressive scholar and popularizer-an enjoyable, stimulating and audacious book (Nature )

From the Publisher

How our animal heritage affects the way we live
