NHK SPECIAL - Jared Diamond's Rise of the Third Chimpanzee

What Separates Humans from Animals?

Presented from the Los Angeles Zoo, the first episode explores how we share 98.4% of our DNA with chimpanzees. What's in the extra 1.6% that gave us music, art, culture, and an advantage over other animals? A master storyteller, Dr. Diamond looks to evolution for clues and dives into the origins of human language.
