Am I That Smart? | Eastern NC Now

Monkeys are not humans and humans are not monkeys but they could have been.

    Recently (Actually, it's not really that recent because this bit of Foolishness was first written on 10/29/09.) I read where people purported to be a lot smarter than I came out with some very startling news about evolution.

    I say "startling" because they really seemed to be excited about their "discovery".

    I say "discovery" because that's what they called it and they are a lot smarter than I am ... Or or they?

    This is what had them all in a tizzy...

    Monkey Primates of today and the Human Primates of today evolved on two different evolutionary paths.

    These are the times when I really begin to believe that I know what I am talking about. It seems pretty elementary to me...
     • Today there are Monkeys.
     • Today there are Humans.

    Does not that seem like the end of the argument? Should it even be called an "argument"? What is there to argue about? If there were not two separate and distinct evolutionary paths involved in this evolvement, we would have 535 Humkeys making laws for us in Congress. That would be terrible! ... Or would it?

    Would I kid u?
