人和其它动物一样,都有让生存更苦难的劣根。将人类与我们的近亲黑猩猩相提并论,已不是个新鲜的提法。在DNA层面上,我们和黑猩猩只有1.6%的差异,贾雷德·戴蒙德很自然地以《第三种黑猩猩》为题,从进化生物学的角度探讨人类的身世与未来。在戴蒙德笔下,进化虽使人类比我们的近亲多出许多竞争优势,本质上的相似性却始终影响我们的决断。“考虑到智力、社会组织以及对疼痛的感受能力,很难在人类和其它动物之间划出一
Like other animals, people have the worst root to survive. It is no longer a fresh idea to compare humanity to our close relatives chimpanzees. At the DNA level, we are only 1.6% different from chimpanzees. Jared Diamond naturally takes ”the third chimpanzee“ as a topic and explores human life and future from the perspective of evolutionary biology. In the case of Diamond, while evolution has given humanity many more competitive advantages than our closest relatives, the essential similarity always affects our decisions. ”Taking into account intelligence, social organization and the ability to feel pain, it is difficult to draw a distinction between humans and other animals
