The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal by Jared DiamondMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I'm really not sure why I owned this nor why I read it in its entirety. For some reason I thought this book came out after Collapse.
I guess it was rather interesting to see what we knew back in the early 90s, and what our goals were (pretty much the same as now I guess).
Still, his topics are dealt with more in-depth in Guns, Germs and Steel and in Collapse. And (especially after having read Who we are and How we got here, by David Reich) I noticed how many of his points were out of date (also, did he really say we evolved from Apes?)
Probably 2.5 stars at this point, since it's a 30-year-old book.
