Of course humans aren't apes. DUH!

Deceptive sophistry. The common ancestor between humans and chimps was a primate, or in the common vernacular, an ape.

From an objective standpoint, humans are apes. We are closer, morphologically and genetically, to chimpanzees and bonobos than either of them are to gorillas.

Ah, but the Darwin Fundies (DFs) seem to spend 99% of their time on these threads trying to score points on the pedantic peripherals. It makes them feel like they're "winning" without wading into the waters of the actual scientific claims.
