    Sorry if I have misunderstood your words, but ...

    Quote from: neilep on 24/03/2007 21:49:23
    I have not said that humans are not evolving at all !!

    You did not say that humans are not evolving (nor did I state that you had said that), but your statement ...

    Quote from: neilep on 24/03/2007 13:50:19
    Perhaps they are evolving and we are not !

    does seem to me to clearly speculate upon the possibility that we are not evolving.

    Quote from: neilep on 24/03/2007 21:49:23
    I have also not made any claims about us being superseded by these primates.........read my words again !..

    Again, you did not explicitly state so, but a projection of the idea that they might be evolving, and we are not, would imply that a time might come where they had evolved 'beyond us' (but I accept that this is an inference, not an explicit statement, and my apologies if it was an inference you had not intended).


    Quote from: neilep on 24/03/2007 21:49:23
    I agree with what you say entirely and make no claims based on what you assumed I have said.

    I never suggested you had made any claims, only that you appeared to have been speculating upon certain scenarios - my apologies if that was not the speculation you were making.

    I will admit that the last couple of days I have been scarcely able to keep my eyes open (although no good reason for such), so it is possible that I am making more mistakes than usual (is that possible).

    George have you been experiencing some rather bad ensomnia! Are you ok or burning the candle at both ends? Please take care and get some rest!

    Hey George and Neil here is the link to the Gorilla Congo in New Yorks Bronx Zoo! It is incredible. I really want to fly there and see this place one day! I loved Anthropology in high school and think it very interesting even now. Take the tour it is really cool. Here is the link!

    "And just to be pedantic, why have gorillas been mentioned in a post about monkeys? "
    Just to be even more pedantic, why the mention of humans in a post about monkeys?
