Hahaha...maybe! For clarity though our social complexities likely passed primates pretty early on. We had a strain going that really wasn't on the level of other primates even when our knuckles dragged. Good God...it's never occurred to me but I wonder if at some point way way back...when there weren't too many differences physically, [not sure if DNA would be compatible that far back...but maybe???] there was perhaps some inter-species hanky panky??? Cripes...maybe man-kinds primitive forms bred that stuff into OTHER primates? Now there's a question best kept out of late night drinking establishments...
Perhaps mans beginning was an amalgam of primate species. I haven't read up much on this stuff...seems possible...depends on compatible DNA...but back then Australopithecus [for example]...may have had the right stuff for the cute but dimmer honey across the valley. Just using Austro. for an example as he is pretty old...pretty much a primate??? Damn...I have to go read up on anthropology a little...my idea was a joke mostly but perhaps it's an accepted thought already or part of some theory or another. What did I get myself into? *grin*
