Study of Orangutans Yields New Ideas about Human Evolution

Hmmmm.....wonder why college tuition is so high.....glad they don’t have university people analyzing monkey pee to find out that if you eat too much, you put on weight.....oh......here’s another Rutgers study......they determined you can see better during the day than at night....wow.....genius.....

Perhaps they used sassafras bark which is tasty and aromatic. Also elm bark makes a soothing syrup for sore throat and cough. I think we like french fries and popcorn because we ate crunchy on the outside soft on the inside insects in quantity in the past. Remember the chimps fishing in termite/ant mounds with little twigs.

Will you have fries, popcorn, or insects with your burger? Never thought of it that way, yet the question remains. Vegetable, vegetable, or protein with that protein. Think I’ll have the fries.

I think we like the french fries with the meat because we crave the crunch and the protein. If we just ate crunchy insects like locusts/grasshoppers, we would have crunch and protein. We are genetically programed to like this nutritious combination.
