I'm always on the look out for science reads, too. Off the top of my head, I can think of several books that frame the kinship between humans and other primates in terms of genetic similarity to greater and lesser degrees - for example "What it means to be 98% chimpanzee in the case of the former and Next of Kin in the case of the latter.

The entire challenge is relevant ot the theme of hte blog so I expect I'll be writing and linking often.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('98','Debra Durham'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('98','Debra Durham','<a href=\"#comment-97\" rel=\"nofollow\">@Kristi<\/a> -My thanks to you for putting together such a great challenge!

You have some intriguing books on your list (the parrot one especially speaks to me for some reason. I'm not sure why, I don't own a parrot, although I may someday -- my mother has an African Gray ;>)). Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on these books. My training is in biochem and genetics and, as well as the Animal Challenge, I have a personal, on-going, non-fiction science challenge that I'm working on. So I'm always looking for well-written, engaging science books to read ;>). I hope you enjoy the challenge!
