The Third Chimpanzee: On the evolution and future of the human animal the most dominant species on the planet

There is little doubt whether or not humans are different from animals. However, modern genetics has called into question the extent of these boundaries. After all, there is only 1.6 percent of a genetic difference between humans and chimpanzees. If alien scientists came to visit us from outer space, they would not hesitate to categorize humans as a third type of chimpanzee. As such, how did humans evolve to become the way we are today? What sets us apart from all other living things and allows us to call ourselves the most dominant species on the planet? ‘The Third Chimpanzee’ attempts to provide a systematic answer to these questions.
