Reviews

Eloquent and knowledgeable account of the tiny genetic difference between humans and chimps
*Independent*

Some biologists are just scientists; but some truly are thinkers. Jared Diamond is one of the latter. Whatever he applies himself to, his contribution is original and worthwhile
*Colin Tudge*

A fascinating portrait with more than enough uncomfortable facts to stop any dinner-party conversation in its tracks - an important book
*Financial Times*

Confirms Diamond as an impressive scholar and popularizer-an enjoyable, stimulating and audacious book
*Nature*
