The Darwin Project

Parents don’t like it when a genetically enhanced chimp is smarter than their own 5th Graders.Some people just have no appreciation for progress. When Darwin, the most famous chimp in the world, entered the 5th Grade, his human brother Scott had mixed feelings. And a band of older kids didn’t like it. Worse, a band of parents decide this walking, reading, thinking and even talking chimp--thanks to a really cool electronic keyboard--has no business attending a public school. So they’re suing the school district to have him booted out. Now Darwin’s fate rests on the outcome of a trial that finally asks the question: what is a human, anyway?“A wonderful book--both funny and heart-breaking” “A surprisingly deep character whose plight is moving.” “Takes on major issues about science and human failings.”
