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.
