ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

The Third Chimpanzee

The Third Chimpanzee is a book written by a very smart man named Jared Diamond. The book is all about how humans are kind of like chimpanzees in some ways, but also different in other ways.

Like chimpanzees, humans like to eat and have fun with their friends. But humans can also do things like talk with each other using words and make really cool things like buildings and cars.

But sometimes humans do things that are really bad for the environment, like cutting down too many trees or polluting the air and water. This can make it hard for animals and plants to survive.

Jared Diamond wrote this book to help people understand how humans are connected to the world around us and how we should try to take care of it. So, just like how we should be nice to our friends and share our toys, we should also be nice to the earth and share it with all the other living things!
