Well, if I’m a chimpiggy then I guess homosexuality is genetic.

I was under the impression that humans are genetically closer to the bonobo monkey than to the chimpanzee...

We’re closer to rice I think, than we are to either chimp. :’)

Thanks, this guy’s blog, “Macroevolution”, isn’t half as interesting as the “Mackerel Evolution” blog, where it’s believed that our ancestors were a fish-seamonkey cross.

Great minds run in the same gutter — that book came immediately to mind here as well. The author cites a list of odd characteristics found in humans but not in any other (living) primates, some of which are actually true. :’)

LOL!

It’s hilarious that the author of the theory suggests that the pig was the aggressor.

Gimme a break. I got one guy telling me it IS science, and now you telling me it is not.

A hypothesis is just that. It may be a precursor to more research, or it may not. I’m not saying I agree with him, but he did just state a hypothesis, and folks are getting all worked up like it’s peer-reviewed science. It’s not.

That’s sort of the point.

Dr Eugene McCarthy of the University of Georgia, may have evolved from an interesting amalgamation of a chimp and a pig (a ‘Chig’? a ‘Pimp’? or perhaps a ‘Chog’?), but we normal beings come from our forebears, and are content to permit Dr McCarthy to entertain us with speculations about his more colorful ancestors.
