Plot: Child is born that is a genetic experiment that is part human and part bonobo, our closet primate relative. There are parts of this book that rather stretch believability--surprisingly,NOT the genetic part of it as that is scientifically possible, but some of t...he events. However, it is still a good read and an interesting take on presenting our current society through the eyes of someone who grew up not of it, for example, americans' rampant consumerism mentality, and also how embedded our society is in religious concepts whether we believe it or not and how we define our own humanity and the consideration we give non-human mammals.
