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?

Human-Specific Cortical Synaptic Connections and Their Plasticity: Is That What Makes Us Human?
This article is very helpful for me because I have already done a lot of research on it. The evolution of man and the fight for survival. Good read!
