One of the reasons we know we're monkeys is that monkeys exhibit many of the same sorts of social sanction we do: it's been observed that monkeys will gang up on monkeys with conspicuous differences and kick them out of the tribe and/or beat them up, possibly fatally.
So while we're not obviously better than monkeys, like the Intelligent Design crowd would have us believe, neither are we obviously worse.
In case anybody wants to tell me that the foregoing was a humongous overgeneralization, yeah, I know about the bonobos and the langurs. But I also know about the mandrills.

Ours is the finished product.
Yeah, I know, evolution doesn't have a "finish." It's a metaphor.

8. well, the first half is OK |
