The Third Chimpanzee : The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal is a popular-science book by Jared Diamond. Summary of the Book Ever since the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species, the world has been constantly trying to decipher the secret of man’s evolution from the same branch as the apes. In this book, Jared Diamond questions how Homo sapiens managed to thwart all its other kindred species, and how Euroasians managed to thrive when other races didn’t do so well. He uses biological and anthropological arguments to test and rebuke traditional hegemonic views that the dominant tribes came from some manner of superior genepool. He attributes the success of some races to their locality, explaining that the atmosphere and local conditions were more compatible for their progress in comparison to that of the others. He also studies the reasons behind the initial strife when two unequal civilizations come into contact and About Jared Diamond Jared Diamond is an American writer, physiologist, evolutionary biologist and biogeographer.
