Only the incorrectly taught or deliberately misrepresenting would claim men evolved from apes. For those of you who wish to be educated, men and apes are descended from a common ancestor. To those of you who wish to continue perpetuating untruths, what else are you lying about?
That’s just silly semantics. It’s not a lie to refer to our “common ancestor” as an ape.
in another 200 years they may get around to bashing the notion of a common ancestor.
Except that we don’t know (who?) that common ancestor was.
Wrong:
“A new report argues that chimpanzees are so closely related to humans that they should be included in our branch of the tree of life.”
