We all agree this debate is getting old, so here is my last (for the
next day or two) comment about it. If we could seperate ourselves from
humanity, say if we were aliens, and came to earth. After looking at the
all five of us - Orangatan, Chimpanzee, Gorilla, Bonobo and Human, we
would group them as offshoots of the same species. In every way that
matters we look, act, are genetically almost identicle,(closer to
Chimps, than Chimps are to Gorillas), mate, group, sleep and use tools
the same. Our brain is the only significant difference, and it's not
that much better. please put fear (an animalistic tendancy) away and
look at the evidence.
