They are apes, just like chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans, and like these larger--and much better known--\"great apes,\" gibbons are counted among humanity's closest living relatives on the evolutionary tree. In fact, the genetic codes of human beings and gibbons are 95 percent alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut gibbons have long been invisible in the West. In this first-of-its-kind book, noted author John Steckley sets out to remedy that situation. As you'll discover, gibbons are extraordinary brachiators--their ability to swing rapidly through the forest from tree to tree would put even Spider-Man to shame--as well as beautiful singers and doting parents. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteckley introduces us to the diverse and enchanting group of gibbons he himself has met personally, including the fun-loving and impish Penelope, as well as gibbons elsewhere who have played prominent roles in gibbon (and human) affairs. By the time you've finished \u003ci\u003eGibbons: The Invisible Apes\u003c\/i\u003e, the \"small apes\" (as Steckley calls them) will never be invisible to you again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rock's Mills Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061478801648,"sku":"9781772440072","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781772440072_p0.jpg?v=1763708618","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781772440072","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
