"Skeleton sheds light on ape-man species"

[Sparkly]

Excerpts from a true AP story...

"The shoulder blades resemble those of a gorilla rather than a modern human."
(Did the apes have this problem?)


"The neck seems short and thick like a great ape's, rather than the more slender version humans have to keep the head stable while running."


"The organ of balance in the inner ear is more ape-like than human."


"The fingers are very curved, which could indicate climbing ability."


I'm just sayin'.

and with this whole "chimpy" thing we do here at DU:

It's a damn insult to our Simian friends with whom we share this ball of rock.

I mean look at it from the Ape's point of view, eh?

Would you really want to be use a comparison with that?

Let's show a little less species-ism, after all we are the liberals, right?
