Info Humans are Apes, that is a fact.

[whm1974]

OK settle down folks, not only Humans are animals, but as matter of fact we are also APES as well. No we didn't evolve from modern Apes, but Humans share a common ancestor with other Apes. Humans and Chimps having the most recent one.

This is a known fact, no reason to get upset over this:

I'm descended from a very promiscuous attack helicopter.

I reproduce by fission.

Correction on your lingo. We are not apes. We are human. Apes and humans evolved from a common ancestor. Our DNA in 98% identical to chimpanzees, but not 100%. Therefore, we are related to apes without being apes.

Wow, I wood for only 12 inches.

Correction on your lingo. We are not apes. We are human. Apes and humans evolved from a common ancestor. Our DNA in 98% identical to chimpanzees, but not 100%. Therefore, we are related to apes without being apes.

We're also about 60% homologous with C. elegans, a commonly used organism in genetics, a small roundworm. Dogs and humans are 84%

It would be shocking if we weren't highly homologous with higher life because nature doesn't "like" to reinvent the wheel.

Dude, we are Modern Apes, We are part of the Great Ape family.

We are not apes only because we do the classification by species. There are two strains of mice that are considered by the same classifiers, us, that are 10% genetically different and classes as the same species. A Martian would definitely say we are apes, which should tell you who whm is.

My DNA has 10 percent beer in it.

Nature didn't invent the wheel. My Grandmother did.

Probably explains why you're so pissed off all the time.

lol. I'm full of love. And shit.

I wonder why so many people in the US are offended by the fact that we are Animals and that Humans are a species of Ape?

They want to be Special. It doesn't matter that Humans don't have even one unique Physical feature, superior features(outside the Brain), or that even on the one major biological advantage, the Brain/Consciousness, other animals have varying degrees of that same phenomenon. It's reasonable, IMO, that we are arrogant in our position regarding valuing Earth Life, but many take their arrogance to even higher levels.

 

[Amused]

Negative. I am a meat Popsicle.

 

[Muse]

Well, we're primates. It's fairly a matter of sematics whether we're apes. I suppose the scientists might say no, though.

Correction on your lingo. We are not apes. We are human. Apes and humans evolved from a common ancestor. Our DNA in 98% identical to chimpanzees, but not 100%. Therefore, we are related to apes without being apes.

Yeah, this is probably the right answer.

 

[Muse]

I reproduce by fission.

Myself, I breath CO2 and exhale oxygen. 'Cause global warming alarms me.

Dude, we are Modern Apes, We are part of the Great Ape family.

If it makes you feel better to think so, go right ahead. Do your knuckles scrape the ground?

I wonder why so many people in the US are offended by the fact that we are Animals and that Humans are a species of Ape?

It's indisputable that we are animals, but apes? Technically, no.

Well, some would dispute that we are animals, but they are full of shit.

 

[whm1974]

Well guys Humans are members of the Great Ape family, which does in fact makes us Apes. Why is this hard to accept?

[Dr. Zaus]

Because we make a categorical distinction between humans, who have inalienable rights, and animals, who we kill for entertainment purposes.

I've never been entertained by any of the animals I've killed. Although, there was that steak one time...

 

[Viper1j]

A planet where apes evolved from men?

OK, great, so what?

Apes are descended from a common human ancestor.

Dude, we are Modern Apes, We are part of the Great Ape family.

Sure, and our DNA is 98% the same as chimpanzees. However, evidently that 2% seems to matter enough that we're riding cars and blasting off into space, while the chimps are still living in trees.

Then again, some 62 million homo sapiens voted for Donald Trump, so perhaps the 2% hasn't taken us as far as we'd like to imagine.
