The media, and even education at this point, exists
to define parameters. It literally creates barriers,
walls in your mind.
"Humans are apes" and "Humans evolved from apes"
are parameters. They cage in your thinking, restrict
you, prevent you from exploring the possibility.
Heck, they prevent you from even conceiving that
other possibilities exist...
The human hand is the less derived, the LCA had
a hand that looked like ours and not a Chimps. The
LCA was bipedal. It wasn't a knuckle walker. It was
adapted to the ground, to walking around. It would
actually be far more accurate to say that the ape, the
Chimp, evolved from us and not the other way around.
Which is funny. Because it means that we may be
apes, because of naming conventions, but that
would make Chimps humans.
We're apes because we evolved from apes, they're
humans because they evolved from us...
i'd say that 90% of my posting "Career" across all
my years on usenet, on these topics, has been
trying to teach the dogs how to exceed their
training... to even see their training.
I've never been successful. The dogs are just too
well trained.
