Saturday Morning Coinfusion: Are chimpanzees closer to humans than they are to gorillas?

 Allan:

Chimpanzees and modern humans are genetically, and uncomfortably to some, so close to each other that scientists in the past argued that Chimpanzees were a species of the human family.

In 2003 biologists at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan, provided new genetic evidence that lineages of chimpanzees (currently Pan troglodytes) and modern humans (Homo sapiens) had diverged so recently that chimpanzees should be re-classed as Homo troglodytes. 

The move had intended to make chimpanzees full members of our genus Homo, along with Neandertals and all other human-like fossil species. 

We humans appear as only slightly remodeled chimpanzee-like apes says the study!

Another Mysterious Monolith Appears In Romania

 Well folks, we just might have evidence of ALIENS after-all!

The original monolith appeared before a tribe of apes a few million years ago on the plains of Africa. 

Some of the apes touched it and... it somehow made them smarter... smart enough to invent a club as a weapon... and start them on the long slow climb to technology.

Then in the modern year of 2001 scientists discovered a source of energy from a location on the moon... so they went and dug down into the Lunar soil to find out what it was.. and discovered another buried monolith.

When the astronauts touched this one it sent a powerful signal out to the edge of our solar system! Scientists discovered the signal was sent to Jupiter and we naturally had to build a spaceship to go out and see what was out there.

After they got there (and managed to kill their insane ship-board mainframe computer during the voyage) they found... ANOTHER MONOLITH!

This monolith sent the last remaining astronaut to a mysterious place where there was:
ANOTHER MONOLITH:

This is where the astronaut dies in that bed and is re-born as: A CHILD OF THE UNIVERSE!

NOW, YOU MIGHT THINK THAT'S THE END OF THE STORY...

But it's not!

A couple of weeks ago (Here in 2020) hikers discovered a giant monolith out in the desert of Utah!

THEN:

Two days ago it disappeared... only to re-appear on a hillside in Romania!!!!!!

Something tells me this story isn't over yet!

The way I see it anyway!
