Third Chimpanzee

Finish with the Third Chimpanzee by Jared Diamond. Quite a good piece. In fact, it seems a waste of time to read Gun Germ and Steel and Collapse; the idea is somewhat repeating.

  1. The third chimpanzee is written after steel guns and germs, that's why you find it repeating. BTW, I think both books are good and are handling different problems.

  2. From what I know, the Third Chimpanzee was first published in 1992, and Gun Germ and Steel 1997.

  3. LOL. I think I get confused with the years. Sorry. Anyway, I think they are handling different problems. The third chimpanzee mainly compare human behavior with animal behaviour while steell guns and germ handle the difference in advance in different cultures.
