We're clearly monkeys. I mean, apes, I suppose; but we're clearly apes.

It's so weird to me that some people, usually anti-evolution people or just ignorant people (and I say that without disdain), so vehemently deny that they're monkeys.

I mean, look at yourself, then look at a monkey. It's uncanny! Bonobos and chimps, in particular. Why do people reject this idea so firmly? Mind you, most of the time the idea that they're rejecting is actually wrong, but that's because they don't understand evolution; I think what they're actually trying to distance themselves from is that they could be related, closely related and clearly kin, to something they deem unquestionably inferior.

I guess that's just anthropocentrism. A sense of superiority towards other species. I don't like that at all.

I wore my brown suit, today.
