    You would be 100% wrong, totally far off, if you assumed that 2 days or so ago science was "amost unanimous" in believing that humans evolved from chimps. If that was in your college biology book, I'd like to hear what college you went to and how on earth their biology department got accredited, if it is.

    What was, and is, believed, is that humans and the two species of chimps had a recent (recent in evolutionary terms) common ancestor. This discovery just adds more details.

    Actually, quite the opposite. By the 134th floor, you effectively won't understand a single word anyone else has uttered.

    Read my followup post (#10), and I'll ask the same question.

    Campbell, Biology, 3rd edition, 1993, p.660-61

    Did you read my response?

    How else would you explain the shared ancestor in a single (albeit hyphenated) word other than "chimp-like"?

    I believe the more technical term is "chimpanzish".

    Actually, yes he is. To the tune of at least 2 million people, if you read your bible. (Satan, btw, killed 10 people in the same book.)

    Who knew that smoting could be so good for your reputation?

    No way, dude, look at the size of her hands. Those would make even my totally big and not even close to small wiener look small.
