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.

Le plus pertinent
The past of humans is analysed through a very smart and well explained set of arguments, enriched with a lot of concurrent visions' critics. What's more, the analysis of the problems to come for our species and their causes is also extremely coherent : in fact I feel like Jared Diamond had already understood all the aspects of humanity's self destruction capacity in 1992. One thing is for sure : every person that has interest for humanity's history and pre-history should read this book. I recommand it unconditionnaly.

An exceptionnaly clever vision of humans
