Yea and considering that he could probably do the same thing with someone like Epimethean just makes me respect the people that work with him all that much more.

No you don't. Their thought processes are totally alien to us due to the complexity of primates.
You didn't think humans broke off from chimps just because they were ugly, right?
From what we've observed of emerging speciation, it starts with cultural/behavioral differences.
It only follows that early pre-humans found chimpanzees "alien" enough to split off their own breeding pool. I'm not certain how bad it was then, but I'm fairly confident that a chimpanzee is as close to an unpredictable and alien thinking entity as we can get -- so similar, yet so different.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
