On Apes?

[TrueChristian]

Hey everyone,

I was wondering, is there much scientific history about apes that is known?

I know people like Jane Goodall and others have studied apes up close. But what of their evolutionary history?

Do we know at what stage gorillas, orangutans and chimps came into being, or what exactly they evolved from? We know that humans did not evolve from apes, that apes and humans indeed are separate and distinct species, and always have been.

I find it kind of strange to think that even though humans have 98-99% identical dna to chimps, we are so very much different than chimps and other apes. We seem much more than animals of any kind.

Unlike apes, human beings can form complex societies, compose music, tell stories, use language, seek to discover knowledge for knowledge's sake, and yes, develop religion.

Sad to think, but all orangutans, gorillas and chimps are atheists. . But then again, according to Christianity, they also lack immortal souls, so Hell is not something for them to be concerned about !!

Any knowledge of the evolutionary status of apes, or how and to what extent they are related to humans?

Kind of a shame this ape does not exist anymore. He would be a living King Kong! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantopithecus

You're funny!

Quiet day at work, huh?

Yes and my reply is as such:



Checkmate again.

Surely you realize that though each ape species (ourselves included) all evolved from a common ancestor, a creature distinct from any existing species?

If not, what drugs have you taken?

[pocaracas]

It's nor that difficult to Google "ape evolutionary tree"...

TC, you need to educate yourself about apes rather than quizzing us. A good place to start might be the outstanding documentary series 'Planet Of The Apes.' It's a little involved, so if you'd rather start slow, a web search for 'Grape Ape' or 'Magilla Gorilla' might be of use to you.

Gutsy design, how that transistor just *bam* amplifies the signal from that timer chip to drive a heavier load? Good stuff.

Yeah, but how the hell do you crush rocks with it?

Well, it does say "Piezo Buzzer OR other load". I see no reason not to put a really fat switching transistor thing there and hook a rock crusher up. Muahahahaaa

[Alex K]

I correct myself, the current for the load seems to be provided by the SCR mostly, so the output stage transistor doesn't need to be too heavy duty I guess.
