The most interesting fact of science: We are apes.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Here in Idiot America where I live, the most recent Gallop poll shows that 40% of Americans think human apes were magically created by a magic god fairy who waved its magic wand to make it happen.
The same poll:
33% of Americans think Jeebus was one of the mechanisms of evolution.
Only 22% of Americans accept evolution without any supernatural magic.
And most of these American idiots don't know we are apes and they would never agree we are apes.
What a waste of a life to not know what you are.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

The most interesting fact of science: "Humans, chimpanzees, and bonobos are more closely related to one another than either is to gorillas or any other primate. From the perspective of this powerful test of biological kinship, humans are not only related to the great apes – we are one. The DNA evidence leaves us with one of the greatest surprises in biology: the wall between human, on the one hand, and ape or animal, on the other, has been breached. The human evolutionary tree is embedded within the great apes."
