《第三種猩猩》
by Jared M. Diamond
【以2%的差異晉升世界主宰之後】
✦《槍炮、病菌與鋼鐵》作者第一部經典鉅作
人類建立文明與宗教，發展科學與科技，在土地上建起無數高樓大廈，形成一座座城市，也創作出令人屏息的藝術品。而與人類基因相似度高達98%的猩猩則—依然是猩猩，對牠們來說最重要的仍是滿足自身的生理需求。究竟這2%的關鍵差異是如何創造出大不相同的命運？
賈德．戴蒙以生物學的角度切入檢視人類演化的進程，分析人類如何逐步發展出統治地球的能力，以及潛藏在基因中的動物本性又是如何帶領人類走上毀滅世界的道路。

“Wonderful....Jared Diamond conducts his fascinating study of our behavior and origins with a naturalist’s eye and a philosopher’s cunning.” —Diane Ackerman, author of A Natural History of the Senses
In this fascinating, provocative, passionate, funny, endlessly entertaining work, renowned Pulitzer Prize–winning author and scientist Jared Diamond, author of Gun, Germs, and Steel, explores how the extraordinary human animal, in a remarkably short time, developed the capacity to rule the world . . . and the means to irrevocably destroy it.
We human beings share 98 percent of our genes with chimpanzees. Yet humans are the dominant species on the planet—having founded civilizations and religions, developed intricate and diverse forms of communication, learned science, built cities, and created breathtaking works of art—while chimps remain animals concerned primarily with the basic necessities of survival. What is it about that two percent difference in DNA that has created such a divergence between evolutionary cousins?
The Third Chimpanzee is a tour de force, an iconoclastic, compelling, sometimes alarming look at the unique and marvelous creature that is the human animal.
