Among the Great Apes: Adventures on the Trail of Our Closest Relatives by Paul Raffaele
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 3.3 Mb
Overview: Join Paul Raffaele, whom the Washington Post calls the “last of the great, old-fashioned adventure writers,” is on a journey to meet the last great apes living in the wild.
Humans have long felt a deep attraction to the great apes: bonobos, chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas. We see a reflection of ourselves in their faces, in their mannerisms, and in their interactions with kin. But we also look to them for contrast. Part of how we define ourselves as human rests with recognizing the differences between us and the great apes, in spite of the substantial amounts of DNA we share.
In decades past, many great primatologists, including Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall, and Richard Wrangham, have dedicated their lives to the observation and study of the great apes in their natural habitats. Unfortunately, many of these sheltering places no longer exist. The great apes live in some of the most volatile regions on our planet, lands plagued by civil unrest, poverty, environmental degradation, and corrupt governments.
