Actually, I think I recommended "Collapse" by Jared Diamond. I also recommend his "Guns, Germs and Steel". They are an excellent combo. I read "Third Chimpanzee" but I doubt I would have recommended it. Good but not as good, IMO.
I read Dawkins' "Ancestor's Tale" this year and thought it was excellent.
Almost done with Ellis' new biography of George Washington. Good. Not great.
My father sent me "Hitler's Scientists" which is next.

Im about halfway through the Third Chimpanzee..you are right, it is cool, but he really doesn't make any stretches. I have Germs, Guns and Steel but havent read it...
check out IBM and the Halocaust that was an interesting read.
