"No need, natural selection has already done so."
Actually, in evolutionary theory, didn't apes and men have a COMMMON ancestor rather than men being descended from the apes. It just seems like I heard that somewhere.
My great great great grandma though could maybe fit the bill though.
Just wondering...nothing else.
it is probably fair to call the common ancestors of both modern apes and modern humans "apes"
it is also probably fair to call modern humans "apes"
