Man is a man. Chimp is a monkey. Separate and distinct. Adam was not only a man, but the first man made in God's image.

Chimp is a monkey.

Nope. Chimp is an ape (as is man). Monkeys are primates with tails. Apes are primates without tails.

Man is a man. Chimp is a monkey. Separate and distinct.

Then I guess that picture is macro after all.

One of the most celebrated examples of transitional fossils is our collection of fossil hominids (see Figure 1.4.4 below). Based upon the consensus of numerous phylogenetic analyses, Pan troglodytes (the chimpanzee) is the closest living relative of humans. Thus, we expect that organisms lived in the past which were intermediate in morphology between humans and chimpanzees. Over the past century, many spectacular paleontological finds have identified such transitional hominid fossils.

Note that A is a chimp. N is a man.

Man is a man. Chimp is a monkey.

Your first statement is just Ayn Rands A=A. The second statement is false.
