"Awww he's so cute!" Yeah, let's not forget that they also have that cute tendency to rip people's faces, fingers and nuts off.

Jon Lucchesi says:

The condition is called Alopecia universalis and can affect humans as well. There was a chimp named Cinder in the St. Louis Zoo with the same condition until she passed away (unrelated to the alopecia) about a month ago.

Great shot!

geist zero says:

Oh I was hoping there would be a creationist comment. I get to be the *next* one. I'm so excited...

"It is a Chimp! It is an animal!!! get it?"

No, I don't.

Can you explain yourself? May I suggest you stay away from the bible, it's pretty obvious that at best it's allegory. What is the basis for you saying that we don't have similar ancestors?

Wow,he looks so much like us.I guess that's what 98% of exact DNA does.
Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )

geist zero says:

hmm.. Devil's advocate here, but we also share 98% of our DNA with bananas (we do, look it up)
Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )

quailish says:

@ geist zero

We share 50% of our DNA with bananas. (Yes, I looked it up.) The 98% that we share with chimpanzees is, indeed, remarkable.

geist zero says:

Yeah, I got my numbers wrong, sorry, and thanks for looking it up. My memory is not what it used to be. Dammit, now the internet knows I don't know everything. (...but if I edit my response I could be right... hmmm.... a moral quandary)

dragon_dreamer81 says:

we also share our dna with mice. it really gets me that everyone just accepts what they are told instead of looking up the facts themselves.
Darwin was trying to show that white people were more evolved than black people. so on the evolutionary chain, black people were lower than white people. those are not ideals i want to follow.

@ dragon_dreamer81

Your lack of knowledge about evolution is frightening. No animal or life form is MORE evolved than any other and Darwin was trying to show no such thing about races. The fact is (as shown by genetics) that there is more genetic diversity within racial groups than between them....ponder that for awhile. You're comment is just a gross misinterpretation of what evolution means, in the same way as it's a misinterpretation to suggest that we're MORE evolved than earlier life on earth or any other life on earth today. Evolution is about change and that change is not directed towards some pre-conceived destination. Perhaps you just can't wrap your head around that or are too uneducated to try.

The suggestion that Darwin was a racist, or that his theories contributed to racism, has been rebutted here:
