Right on! What there is a need of is to ask (a) how we differ from apes
(b) what other species can we find which appear to share those
characteristics which are not found in any other primate (c) what kind
of environment do they inhabit? (d) do we have any UNAMBIGUOUS
explanation of why they evolved in just one primate? if not.let us sit
down and count which of the speculative theories (they are all
speculative) accounts for the greatest number of these anomalies.
