Hmm. Like an ape in some ways, like a human in others. Could it be--gasp!--a transitional??? A chimp is more like a human than a rhesus monkey is. If there were no chimps or rhesus monkeys around, and someone found a fossil of a rhesus and a fossil of a chimp, couldn't they conclude that the chimp was a transitional form between the rhesus and man?

If the fossils of a rhesus were older than the fossils of the chimp, and there were no human or chimp fossils as old as the rhesus fossils, why would that be an invalid conclusion?
