That’s what separates us genetically from a creature that is as happy in the trees as he is on land, whose upper body strength is more than five times that of a man, and whose powerful jaws could take your hand off with a single bite.

The creature that is the titular subject of the novel Mr. Coleman by Scot A. Simmons – a chimpanzee. For an interesting side trip, take a look at the Mr. Coleman Video.
