| Rather than focusing on how similar humans are to chimpanzees, can more be learned by examining how we're different? In this segment, we'll talk with journalist Jon Cohen, author of the book 'Almost Chimpanzee,' about research into what sets humans and chimps apart - in language, genetics, physical abilities, and other areas. |
