The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal, Jared Diamond

This is almost a prequel to Collapse: all about how humans are differentiated from our chimpanzee cousins. (Hint: Not very much at all, it turns out.) Some of it's conjecture but mostly it's fascinating. I read this quickly and resented every time I had to put it down to go to bed or work. If you're interested in why people do things like kill each other and destroy their environments, this is a book to pick up.

Grade: A
