My, ludzie, dzielimy 98 procent naszych genów z szympansami.

Co jest niezwykłego w tej dwuprocentowej różnicy DNA, która spowodowała taką rozbieżność między ewolucyjnymi kuzynami? W tym fascynującym i prowokacyjnym dziele, uznany naukowiec i laureat nagrody Pulitzera, Jared Diamond odkrywa, jak niezwykłe ludzkie zwierzę, w niezwykle krótkim czasie, rozwinęło zdolność do rządzenia światem... i środki do nieodwracalnego zniszczenia go.

Jared Diamond culmina su trilogía con un sobrecogedor estudio de cómo las naciones más poderosas afrontan sus horas más oscuras. En Armas, gérmenes y acero y en Colapso, Jared Diamond ya revolucionó nuestra visión del auge y la caída de las civilizaciones. Ahora, el autor concluye su sensacional trilogía adentrándose en una dimensión psicológica que complementa el impresionante universo histórico, geográfico y económico recogido en su obra. El resultado es este revelador estudio comparativo de cómo seis países han sobrevivido en su historia reciente a crisis decisivas mediante un duro proceso de autoevaluación y transformación. Diamond identifica patrones en la superación de la adversidad y, dirigiendo su mirada hacia el futuro, plantea que quizás el mundo esté desperdiciando sus recursos y embarcándose en un viaje de conflicto político y declive.

At some point during the last 100,000 years, humans began exhibiting traits and behavior that distinguished us from other animals, eventually creating language, art, religion, bicycles, spacecraft, and nuclear weapons—all within a heartbeat of evolutionary time. Now, faced with the threat of nuclear weapons and the effects of climate change, it seems our innate tendencies for violence and invention have led us to a crucial fork in our road. Where did these traits come from? Are they part of our species immutable destiny? Or is there hope for our species’ future if we change? With fascinating facts and his unparalleled readability, Diamond intended his book to improve the world that today’s young people will inherit. Triangle Square’s The Third Chimpanzee for Young People is a book for future generation and the future they’ll help build.

The no. 1 bestselling author of Collapse and Guns, Germs and Steel explores the profound lessons that traditional societies offer us todayOver the past 500 years, the West achieved global dominance, but do Westerners necessarily have better ideas about how to raise children, care for the elderly, or simply live well? In this epic journey into our past, Jared Diamond reveals that traditional societies around the world offer an extraordinary window into how our ancestors lived for the majority of human history - until virtually yesterday, in evolutionary terms. Drawing on decades of his own fieldwork, Diamond explores how tribal people approach essential human problems, from health and diet to conflict resolution and language, and discovers they have much to teach us.Jared Diamond is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the seminal million-copy-bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, which was named one of TIME's best non-fiction books of all time, and Collapse, a #1 international bestseller. A professor of geography at UCLA and noted polymath, Diamond's work has been influential in the fields of anthropology, biology, ornithology, ecology and history, among others.
