| I am in! I have started re-reading and am on chapter three. I read it and enjoyed it many years ago and am happy to read it again along with BookTalk members. In fact, I think there are some posts in reference to this book in our science forum. I will go search there and bump any relevant threads. |

I'll be joining in later. I just got the book in yesterday's mail and haven't cracked it yet.

| Just picked it up. Sounds promising, I just hope the science isn't too out of date. We already know that the differences are a little more pronounced than Diamond thought back in 92. |

Yup, just not yet. I'm without proper net access.
Now I haven't read the book itself, so I'm going off the cover blurb, but it makes reference to humans sharing 98% of their genotype with chimps. Recent evidence suggests that this actually more like 96% if my memory suggests.
I'll post on this at a later date, when I've decent net access. Full of Porn*

I bought the book this week, before I knew about this site. I am interested in the development of our human society from its animal roots and the existence of our animal roots in our (current) predicament.
I have never tried this before and am looking forward to seeing what develops.
