From flowerhorns, to PETA, to monkeys on viagra. Where will this thread go next?
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimers research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what they are, or what to do with them.

Chimps are not that much like humans. Because they aren't humans. It's actually rather simple.

I'm gonna have to quickly step in here and say that you are about 2% right. Meaning, yes, chimpanzees and humans are different species, but we are very closely related species who share about 98% of our DNA. Our lineage is slightly closer to the Bonobos, with whom we share 98.4% of our DNA.

To say that chimpanzees are not much like humans is misleading. After all both humans and chimpanzees, and all other great apes, collectively, are "gill-less, organic RNA/DNA protein based, metabolic, metazoic, nucleic, diploid, bilaterally symmetrical, endothermic, digestive, triploblast, opisthokont, deuterostome coelomate with a spinal chord and twelve cranial nerves connecting to a limbic system in an enlarged cerebral cortex, with a reduced olfactory region inside a jawed skull with relatively large braincase and specialized teeth including canines and premolars; forward oriented, fully enclosed optical orbits and a single temporal fenestra, attached to a vertebrate hind-leg dominant tetrapoidal skeleton with a sacral pelvis, clavicles, wrist and ankle bones, and having lungs, tear ducts, body-wide hair folicles, lactal mamaries, opposable thumbs, and keratinized skin and nails on all five digits on all four extremities, in addition to an embryonic development in amniotic fluid, leading to a placental birth and a highly social lifestyle."
