Part of me knew that, the other part was clogged with malted hops.

Teaches me to drunk post.

Thanks for that. I've never understood it. How many "kingdoms" are there, anyway? How many classes, etc.? Do you know of a website where it's all spelled out in a simple straightforward way so a complete beginner can understand it? Thanks.

["But there are four or five important features of the face, in particular, that seem to be closer to African apes,..." ]

Hmmm... after looking at it, it seems to have some facial features that don't - quite - resemble human beings, either. I counted more than four or five. But, hey, who am I to say? Maybe there are plenty of humans who look just like that...

"We are apes of the primate order."

What do you mean, "we?" You speaking French? That skull doesn't look like any of my relatives... not even my in-laws.

Actually, apes belong to the Pongid family. Apes do not belong to the Hominid family.
