Of course. That's why he's the first entry in the dictionary!

The scientists said that the common ancestor probably belonged to a mammalian “super order” known as Afrotheria, which includes the aardvark and both species of elephant.

"Sesame Street" was right all along. Go figure...

I'm an aardvark, and I'm proud!
I'm an aardvark, and I'm happy!
I'm an aardvark,
If I try to be specific
And a little scientific,
I am feeling quite terrific!

I'm an aardvark, fierce and free!
I'm an aardvark, standing bravely!
I'm an aardvark,
And I'm tough and smart and strong
And always right,
And that's the way I'll always be ...

Until I meet another aardvark
Who's bigger than me!

One guess is as good as another, I guess.

It's not a guess. Read the article.

It's possible, some humans occasionally display aardvark-like features:

+ =

Oh, I don't know -- maybe it's the other way around, and the aardvark descended from humans....

I've always suspected that there's a bit of the ol' aardvark in you.

Some individuals may be descended from the aardvark. Ever wonder why Gore seldom was photographed in profile? Ant colonies scattered in fear any time he loped into view. He may be Mr. Ecology, but to ants, he's Adolf Eichmann.

PH, Didn't you know that DNA evidence DISPROVES evolution?

The blueman says that ALL the time.

It couldn't be that geneticists actually believe in evolution and use it in their work everyday, can it?

Nah, the blueman says it's not true, and you know how credible he is!!

It's OK with me. A little aardvark never hurt anybody.
