We are frequently told that humans, mentally, are continuous with the apes

I'm not sure what that means, but it certainly doesn't mean that humans and other apes have the same mental processes. One of the first things that anyone points out that are different from humans and all other animals is the mental process, especially the reflective thinking humans exhibit about their own sense of self.

There is a lot of thinking as to what mental processes are shared with the apes, and how that compares to the mental processes shared with the shrews, and to the octopi. As expected, human mental processes are more similar to apes than to groups which separated from humans more generations ago.

More cut n paste from the mental midgets from your obscure anti-reason site? Essentially we'll just ignore 3mil yrs of continuous change & developement, draw some of the shallowest conclusions to suit an agenda of denial. That article is absolutely pointless but we'll assume it has some drift of moronic appeal to you, though doubt you even think about what you post here, relying soley on imbecilic insinuation, of what, no educated person could guess.

You really are a pointless fellow aren't you? Yes, there have been many adaptations in the biological adaptive neruo pathways & brain mechanism after long stetches of time, men are farther up the tree from distant primates, that are not so distant. If you wanted a sense of the true "religious" , then you would appreciate the nature of these developements, too busy grinding dull axes to see the forest & the trees.

Lilliputian class thinking, we couldn't expect less.
