New evidence underscores the theory of human origin that suggests humans most likely share a common ancestor with orangutans, according to research from the University of Pittsburgh and the Buffalo Museum of Science. Reporting in the June 18 edition of the Journal of Biogeography, the researchers reject as "problematic" the popular suggestion, based on DNA analysis, that humans are most closely related to chimpanzees, which they maintain is not supported by fossil evidence.

Which are you going to believe? The fossils or your lying DNA?

Orangutans are largely portrayed throughout the Apes saga as politicians.

I might be related to an orangutan but I vehemently deny any relation to a politician.

That Sci-Fi Channel Planet of the Apes marathon is apparently from some other year, not this one. It says Sunday, Sept 5th. Sept 5th, 2009, falls on a Saturday.

The Scars of Evolution:
What Our Bodies Tell Us
About Human Origins

by Elaine Morgan
"The most remarkable aspect of Todaro's discovery emerged when he examined Homo Sapiens for the 'baboon marker'. It was not there... Todaro drew one firm conclusion. 'The ancestors of man did not develop in a geographical area where they would have been in contact with the baboon. I would argue that the data we are presenting imply a non-African origin of man millions of years ago.'"
Ape culture hints at earlier evolution
BBC News Online
The complex behaviour of orangutans suggests human culture started to develop 14 million years ago, much earlier than thought. At this time the ancestors of chimps and orangutans diverged... Professor Van Schaik warned though that political unrest and habitat destruction could prevent further studies.

She was hot stuff. Wound up marrying Zanuck, and one of her sons was somehow involved in the making of the movie “Road to Perdition”. Linda had been selling astrology stuff on the internet, but that appears to be gone.
