This review is from: Great Apes and Humans: The Ethics of Coexistence (Hardcover)
This is a fascinating, eclectic collection of observations by a wide range of interests. From the purely academic, to the impassioned researcher, to the perspective of zoos and medical laboratories... Their observations will stretch your mind in all directions.

I have to admit that there were paragraphs that went so deeply into Latin terms that I had to skip over them. But that was rare -- mostly, I appreciated the fact that the authors didn't take their readers for idiots, and totally engaged us in their thinking and their arguments.

The reader is left with the impression that people may have different ideas about what the great apes need to thrive, but all of us are trying our best to give our primate relatives the respect and rights they deserve.

One can't help but be left with an uneasy feeling, however... With all of these great minds, doubtedlessly representing colleagues the world over --WHY CAN'T WE COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO SAVE THE GREAT APES FROM THEIR COMING DESTRUCTION?
