We are apes - we should be climbing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We admit that we are like apes, but we seldom realise that we are apes.
Darwin wasn't just provocative in saying that we descend from the apes - he didn't go far enough. We are apes in every way, from our long arms and tailless bodies to our habits and temperament.
Apes are apes, though clothed in scarlet.
Just being an ape is a workout.
The fact that the apes exist and that we can study them is extremely important and makes us reflect on ourselves and our human nature. In that sense alone, you need to protect the apes.
I say we are climbing out of a ditch and we are climbing up.
From a climbing standpoint, gravity is the adversary. You and your fellow humans are striving together to get to the same place at the same time. And I think that's a really good way for humans to interact.
When you are on a climb, you always pick out people's words of encouragement, and it can push us on, without doubt.
We hope to find more pieces of the puzzle which will shed light on the connection between this upright, walking ape, our early ancestor, and modern man.
I have found the missing link between the higher ape and civilized man; it is we.
