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.

A perfect beautiful and philosophical book about gorillas and humans. Gorillas are, without doubt, the more likable species.
