We have as many hair follicles as a chimpanzee... I have read that most scientists do not classify humans as great apes... I think that the reason is that people don't like to think of themselves as apes when the truth is that that's all that we really are; we are just smarter than our cousins.

'cause we are not so great....we kill each other, eradicate species, ruin the enviorment, elect dumbarses like GWB , worship a God of love whilst we do the above. Same on us.
There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts of tiny trumpets, we have met the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us.

Humans are categorized as Great Apes! Since when have'nt they been?? We are both members of the Order Primates and the Family Hominidae.

We are great apes and most scientists recognise this fact. If you are reading that scientists are not saying this, you are reading creationist web sites not science.

Humans are primates, members of Hominidae, or great apes. Who told you they weren't?

Because Evolution is a THEORY not fact. Until someone comes up with definitive PROOF, I am homo sapien.
