Self-Recognition in Apes

Nov 7, 2009 - Bipedalism is not what defines what is or is not an ape.

AnonymousCthulhu Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - There is no such thing as a single ape. Ape is a general word that describes many animals that fall under its definition. We're apes, we walk on two legs, but there are other apes that are not bipedal. That's not how we define an ape, we don't define them by their means of movement. We define what is an ape by its biological classification.

Nov 7, 2009 - @AnonymousCthulhu the human is very diffrent than the other kinds of apes

AnonymousCthulhu Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - Llama: "I didn't come from no damn camel. If we came from camels, how come there are still camels?" Other Llama: "The fact of the matter is that we share a common ancestor with camels. Its not like a camel gave birth to a llama one day, thats not how evolution works.".

AnonymousCthulhu Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - We are different from the apes, but we are apes. Just the way the color red is different from the color green, but they're both damn COLORS at the end of the day.

AnonymousCthulhu Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - Different from the other apes*

sorry4frankness Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - why are we ape?

sorry4frankness Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - apes*

AnonymousCthulhu Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - @sorry4frankness We belong to the super-family Hominoidea.

sorry4frankness Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - @AnonymousCthulhu why?

AnonymousCthulhu Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - @sorry4frankness That's how taxonomy works.

sorry4frankness Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - @AnonymousCthulhu why does taxonomy classify us as apes?

AnonymousCthulhu Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - I believe it has to do with size and lack of tail.

sorry4frankness Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - hmmmm..... I think there is somthing wrong in that... we are much diffrent.

AnonymousCthulhu Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - Please, tell me how we differ from other apes in a biological sense (the sense that would matter to someone classifying animals) that would prove us radically different despite our genomes being nearly identical.

Bunb0n Says:

Nov 13, 2009 - An ape is a primate that doesn't have a tail. since humans are primates and we don't have tails, we're apes.

Nov 14, 2009 - You don't see gorillas committing genocide or enslaving each other

TheJoemm Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - You do, however, see the characteristics that could lead to slavery and geneocide in apes. There not all peaceful with each other and are known to engage in warfare

The9thKnight Says:
