Are we humans simply remodelled apes? Chimps with a tweak? Is the difference between our genomes so minuscule it justifies the argument that our cognition and behaviour must also differ from chimps by barely a whisker? If “chimps are us” should we grant them human rights? Or is this one of the biggest fallacies in the study of evolution? NOT A CHIMP argues that these similarities have been grossly over-exaggerated - we should keep chimps at arm’s length. Are humans cognitively unique after all?

NOT A CHIMP goes Japanese!
Just received today a complimentary copy of NOT A CHIMP in its Japanese edition with the translation done by Kotaro Suzuki of Niigata University. In Japan it is titled "We Are Not Chimpanzees"!
