Rain Forest Wisdom: What Gorillas Tell Us About Ourselves
With renewed interest in man's primal antecedents, Rain Forest Wisdom offers a wealth of examples of the gorilla's behavior and what that tells us about being human--from low-fat, high protein diet, to caring for the young to group dynamics and even leadership. Andrew Grant, former managing director of the London Zoo, draws on research, interviews and personal experience to illuminate hundreds of fascinating details on the wild mountain gorilla, one of our closest relatives—with whom we share 98% DNA—and the gentlest of primates.

Extremely interesting book. The author has gone into great detail to compare gorillas to humans and has done a good job. I knew that gorillas were very similar to humans, but it was amazing to find out just closely we are in actions, diets and family life. Very well researched and very enlightening. I won this is an giveaway and am very happy to have done so.

In general, this is not the kind of book I tend to read. But I was surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this book. It was well researched, thought provoking and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to find something different.
