I would get a FAR more intelligent dialogue communicating with an ape than I do with you!! "What ape did you spring from ?" Not surprisingly you missed the point of the joke. I will speak more slowly for you. You see, many of us "sprang" far from our heritage in terms of the intellectual and moral gap between ape-like ancestors of our distant past and us...and many (such as some on this thread) show very little gap in those attributes. I.E.--*not much spring.* The joke had nothing to do with any questions of science but, yes...we evolved from apes. The first primates (yes, we are primates) were much like squirrels. This was about 60 million years ago--long before you were born. The first monkeys appeared about 35 million years ago. NO APES. About 25 million years ago we find apes appearing. NO HUMANS. From that conglomeration of apes we find human types evolving about 20 million years after that or 5 million years ago.
