- catalog abstract ""People and apes share an ancestor. In common parlance, we are descended from the apes. But evidence that we share almost all our DNA with chimpanzees and gorillas has forced a rethink. Not only is our common ancestor much more recent - four million years instead of twenty - but the whole story might be backwards. A four-million-year-old man ape walked upright. So why did apes return to the trees, while humanity strode on? Can a one per cent difference in DNA account for human civilization? John Gribbin and Jeremy Cherfas tell the most compelling detective story in science - the story of where we came from."--Jacket.".
