The Third Chimpanzee

'A master storyteller of the human race.'

'Informative, most fascinating, and very readable.'

'This is exactly the kind of book that should be a 'set text' for secondary school science: engaging, thought-provoking and bang up to the minute. if your teachers aren't recommending books like this - go out and get them anyway.'

‘An important book and a valuable resource for students of the natural sciences’

'Thoughtful readers interested in any fields related to evolutionary science, anthropology, psychology, human history, and culture will find plenty to ponder.'

Praise for the adult edition:

‘Written with great wit and a pleasure to read... forces one to reflect thoroughly on the puzzle of human evolution, on where we came from and where we may be heading.’
