I think it would be best for all concerned if labs locked up all of their monkeys whenever they see him coming. Especially if he shows up with a bouquet of bananas.

[L,TOWM]

And a solution exists for this situation:

Toss some bubble gum back into the monkey cages.

Ummmm, so I've heard...

In an op ed piece in the LA Times, David P. Barash, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington, says that reproductive facilities should work towards creating a race of human/chimpanzee hybrids,

We already had one of these, and just think, his wife became a Senator after he left office ;-)

[Vaquero]

Sorry, nice sentiment but the genie is already out of the bottle. both in cloning, the development of nuclear weapons and a plethora of other potentially catastrophic inventions of the 19th 20th and 21st centuries. It requires work and a bit of luck to survive this time as a race, but sticking our heads in the sand is no way of solving this.

[Rummenigge]

Evolution is not somehting you believe in - it's a theory with a lot of facts and findings supporting it - so you assume it's right until somebody finds something better.

For the rest your correct - we share nearly all of our genome with chimps. I wounder if a hybrid species might even be fitter for live then we are ...

"who hold human life to be sacred"

Ya think if someone were to hold a gun to this guys head or to lets say one of his loved ones he would beg to stop or just say "go ahead and off the sea sponge?

Just wondering what human life is important to folks like this.

Another dumb-ass professor.

[Diamond]

How is an explication of the moral law and its application to cloning sticking one's head in the sand?

Cordially,

[Northern Yankee]

I've often wondered if we are decended from apes, why do we still have apes?

[Vaquero]

someone will do it somewhere. China perhaps...

[OKSooner]

This guy's in good company. I couldn't find the thread on it, but Stalin wanted to create a race of monkey-men to fight the fascists.

After all, a man is a monkey is a sea sponge...

[RexBeach]

Wow. I'm on the same level with a sea sponge!?

Hmmph. I'd like to see a sea sponge drive my 400-HP Mustang Cobra!

To Hell with sea sponges.

BTW, Professor Barash sounds like a genuine PITA.

[Calpernia]

>>>>human/chimpanzee hybrids

Well, I'll admit, I've dated guys that would have made me a contributor to this scenario if it became serious enough.

[OKSooner]

"For the rest your correct - we share nearly all of our genome with chimps. I wounder if a hybrid species might even be fitter for live then we are ..."

Well, that's open to conjecture but they'd probably have better spelling.

U of WA freak professor ping

Really? That's funny. What about cigarettes?

And not to mention so excited to abort themselves

Who knovs ?

[Aquinasfan]

Everything you need to know about this guy is here.

At the same time, much of my attention has recently been directed to understanding the underlying evolutionary factors influencing human behavior, a discipline sometimes called "evolutionary psychology."

I wonder what survival advantage is incurred by the chimp's ability to crap in his hand and throw it at people? Maybe if we give the professor ten grand he'll figure it out for us.
