The Third Chimpanzee

Author: Jared Diamond

Why it’s on the list: Examines how humans, genetically near-identical to chimpanzees, evolved unique traits like language and art while retaining destructive animal instincts.

Where I saw it: Recommended in Poor Charlie’s Almanack — part of Charlie Munger’s perennial reading list of books that build a latticework of multidisciplinary mental models.
