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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Steckley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772440078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772440072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rock's Mills Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.38d","brand":"John Steckley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984263872767,"sku":"9781772440072","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b2acb62-d4ba-49fa-b119-61391d67efd2.jpg?v=1683271387","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gibbons-john-steckley-9781772440072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
