Blimey, Mr Silverback is so fast.
I’m flabbergasted that there’s people able to look at that scene, and still think:
“No way evolution is true”
The only difference with my repeated personal experiences is that I was on a sofa, and the kids were less hairy.
Thank goddess that papa didn’t hand the little pain in the butt pair of goofs a screen to divert their attention.
“Cut it out, dangit!”
“Aw, dad! We were just rasslin’!”
As much as I love primates, watching them for extended periods of time becomes a little unsettling after a while. The similarities that primates share with human beings place them in a weird tier in the animal kingdom.
The biologists read that, then look at each other and say “You wanna tell him? Or should I?”
Humans are primates. That’s why the behaviour looks so similar.
I often said after a trip to the park with the kids that it boggles my mind that Darwin was ever controversial.
