Are humans apes?

Post Reply New Topic

Some people certainly behave like apes,apes can't help it.Human-apes should know better.
Watch kids on the monkey bars at school,hairless,loud,squealing gibbons.I have no doubt that we are apes,just observe children at play.

The first human was a carbon based robot.

That post doesn't make any sense. Can you elaborate?

The first human was an artificial life form.

And that doesn't make any sense either.

Could you perhaps provide an account of your views that exceeds the length of a single sentence?

Today we have advanced humanoid robot technology.

Depending on the usage of the term human, some apes are more human than humans. But they don't have the same disadvantages, that at times, rise from human culture. Similar to the underlying theme in the older "Planet of the Apes" movies.

Are you a troll?

Yeah, people are a variety of apes as far as I know. More advanced than other apes, but still apes.

Most likely a 'bot.

That's what I expected, but I wanted to be sure.

androbot2084 sometimes post something that sounds "somewhat" meaningful, but it could just be the effects of the infinite monkey theorem.

The taxonomical hierarchy runs like this:

Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Class Mammalia
Order Primates
Family Hominidae
Genus Homo
Species Sapiens

If you define "Ape" to be any member of the family Hominidae (the "Great Apes") then chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, humans and orangutans all fall within that definition. If you choose the broader definition of any member of the superfamily Hominoidea, which would include the family Hylobatidae (the "lesser apes") then the gibbons come into that definition as well. But if you define Ape as any member of one of these families that is not a member of the genus Homo, then the definition excludes our species, as well as our extinct precursor species.

Not everyone on the spectrum communicates the same; people that have autism spectrum disorders other than Asperger's syndrome often communicate differently from what I have seen on these discussion boards. However, some often have deep insights if one is willing to look past communication differences and allow clarification in a way some others understand. Androbot is neither a troll or falls under the infinite monkey theorem; he is a valued human being, regardless of how he may personally define that.

Yes..yes we are.. now where's my banana?!

You'll have to wait a minute. I'm still counting them.

Daylight come and me wanna go home!
