Here's why you have been met with such sarcasm:

I have _seen Chimpanzees weep with my own eyes_. It was a mother
whose infant had died, which certainly qualifies as emotional
distress). This is as good "evidence" as anything you have presented.
I have posted it before. It has been ignored by AAH proponents while
_their_ claims are put forward and they insist they be accepted as
fact (and this includes _your_ claim that the elephant must have had
an aquatic ancestor--any references for that at all)?
