I am an ape

For me evolution by means of natural selection is a fact. I have about 98 percent genes in common with a chimpanzee. For me it is about much more than a question about creation. Perhaps there is a conscious creator to the universe, that I do not know anything about.

I am a great ape, not to be misinterpreted with monkey. Great apes are chimpanzee, human, gorilla, orangutan. I will live as a human for one lifetime, then I will die not to exist anymore. There has been life for a minimum of 3.5 billion year on planet earth.

I have made a mistake in the Video that was found by Garry Warney. Gibbons are not a GREAT ape it is a lesser ape. Gibbons are the outgroup between the ingroup of great apes to the outgroup which includes lesser apes and monkeys. I am sorry for this misunderstanding.

[garrywarney]

gibbons are lesser apes, not great apes.

[msituautism]

That is what OUTGROUP means.

Outgroup is an evolutionary concept to separate a group from the rest. I am very aware of that Gibbons are not great apes, they are the closest kin to the great apes.

[garrywarney]

the why did you classify them as such in the description?

[msituautism]

Ok - I will bear the head of the dog then. I made a mistake and for that I apologise.

human beings are a mutation of apes.

"Are human beings apes?"

Yes.

You are right and spot on. However, I would like to add: "as far as we know". In 200 years from now our understanding may be refined to a greater understanding.

I don't understand why people feel so threatened when fonfronted with being an ape.
