It is more accurate to state that baby chimps and baby humans have more
similar appearances. In that vein, human babies resemble baby chimps,
because they share a common distant ancestor. Again, it is knowledge after
the fact, Mark. It is definately NOT a prediction of future events.
Scientists (and quack pop-scientists as well) have perfect 20/20 hindsight.
