Argues against the common perception that chimps are like us, bringing together cutting-edge research in genetics and animal behaviour. Illustrated.

Publisher's description:

Are chimps almost human? Are we just smarter chimps? What does that oft-quoted 1.6% difference in DNA actually mean? As teams worldwide seek the genetic basis of our humanity, a complex picture is emerging. Small changes in key genes can cause big ones in brains, bodies and behaviour. We've changed profoundly since the chimp-human split.
