The Development of an Extraordinary Species 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? In this fascinating, provocative, passionate, funny, endlessly entertaining work, renowned Pulitzer Prize–winning author and scientist Jared Diamond 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.
作者简介贾雷德·戴蒙德(Jared Diamond),美国加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校医学院生理学教授,美国艺术与科学院、国家科学院院士,是当代少数几位探究人类社会与文明的思想家之一。
戴蒙德的研究使他获奖无数,包括美国国家科学奖、美国地理学会伯尔奖、泰勒环境贡献奖、日本国际环境和谐奖和麦克阿瑟基金会研究基金。
《第三种黑猩猩》是戴蒙德教授第一本为知识大众写的书,也是他首次获得英国科普图书奖的作品。书中的一些重要论点,在其后的《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》以及《崩溃:社会如何选择成败兴亡》中做了更完整的铺陈,被合称为“人类大历史三部曲”。
