Zanuck? Is that the little alien guy that drops in on Fred Flintstone when he's in trouble? :) Seriously, never heard of him.

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.

I wish they could make up their minds already. Now I’ll have to change the guest list for our family reunion.....
You said 'minkey'
Too bad.
I always liked Cheetah just as much as Clyde. In some ways more. Clyde would be better to sit down and have a beer with, but Cheetah would be the party animal.
WOW! No Helen Thomas pictures yet!!
Jeffrey H. Schwartz still a nutcase after all these years. When he dies this idea will die with him.
They get into some real stretches of logic when it comes to the geography of orangutans vs. early man. Chimps simply make more sense assuming the “out of Africa” origin of man.
LOL! I was looking for that one on my HD. Thanks!
Are orangutans more likely than chimps to eat your FACE?
Schwartz and Grehan scrutinized the hundreds of physical characteristics often cited as evidence of evolutionary relationships among humans and other great apes—chimps, gorillas, and orangutans—and selected 63 that could be verified as unique within this group (i.e., they do not appear in other primates). Of these features, the analysis found that humans shared 28 unique physical characteristics with orangutans, compared to only two features with chimpanzees, seven with gorillas, and seven with all three apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans). Gorillas and chimpanzees shared 11 unique characteristics.
I had always understood that to be the case because of their complex group hunting behavior. Chimps are far less sophisticated.
See, they are just like us! LOL
Grrr...
“hers” = “heres”
