Humans belong to the Great Ape family, along with gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees. This colourful fact-packed information book focuses on chimpanzees, who are our closest living animal relatives. Like us they have long childhoods, the ability to use .language. and tools, and the capacity to feel deep emotions. Both children (aged seven upwards) and adults will be intrigued and stimulated by the excellent presentation of this book, which begins with an overview of the chimps and the ways they are like humans, and moves to the specifics of the unique species and communities of chimpanzees living in various regions of Africa.
