Are Great Apes Stupid?
Creationist ideology tells us mankind was created from dust. It’s almost an insult to say mankind evaluated from apes from the creationists side. These people often think the noble human beings cannot be originated from apes. But I am wondering if our ancestors consisted from dust, does it make us more noble and superior?
Anyway I want to take a peek at our the closest relatives, the chimpanzees. According to the genetic researches the chimpanzee and human genomes are more than %98 the same. It’s interesting to see how creationist are trying to find a way to deny this fact. But beyond the genomes,the humans share a lot of common point with the great apes such as emotions, morals, unity, having a strong memory, ability to solve complex problems, ability to communicate, ability to learn,…etc
We are the supreme animals on the planet but still we did not come from another planet. We are still the part of this nature. It’s better to remember we were not much different from the great apes a few thousand years ago with our primitive lifestyle. We get what we have from our oldest generations and improve them. This is how we are doing….
