My source is This article, from Discover Magazine on vestigial organs:

THIRTEENTH RIB

Our closest cousins, chimpanzees and gorillas, have an extra set of ribs. Most of us have 12, but 8 percent of adults have the extras.

If I'm incorrect, I stand corrected. However, this article is now all over the web.

Are you suggesting that we evolved for apes? If so, I would have one question, if we did, then how come there are still apes?
