Now, faced with the threat of nuclear weapons and the effects of climate change, it seems our innate tendencies for violence and invention have led us to a crucial fork in our road. Where did these traits come from? Are they part of our species immutable destiny? Or is there hope for our species' future if we change? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With fascinating facts and his unparalleled readability, Diamond intended his book to improve the world that today's young people will inherit.

Diamond studied physiology at Harvard and Cambridge, before narrowing his research to the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the gall bladder. It was on a summer trip to New Guinea in 1964, however, that he first began to carefully consider the questions that would intrigue him for the next half-century: why did New Guinea's extremely intelligent and resourceful indigenous peoples have no writing, chiefs, or steel tools? His Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003ci\u003eGuns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies\u003c\/i\u003e was an attempt to answer that question. Diamond is the author of several other books on geography and evolutionary biology, including \u003ci\u003eWhy is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCollapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Third Chimpanzee for Young People\u003c\/i\u003e is his first book adapted for younger audiences.
