Ever been to a zoo. 

Maybe the sounds coming from the chimps and other apes are them speaking to us in human baby language.  They're using that communication as a condescending attempt to tell us they're smarter than us.

I was thinking more of us being condescending to them.

Hey Oakranger...I've been sitting here trying to figure out how any DNA evidence has been found to support how humans condescended from apes...    I have seen the research on the theory that early humans may have descended from apes...but nothing to support condescension.

condescend:
1. to act graciously towards another or others regarded as being on a lower level; behave patronizingly
2. to do something that one regards as below one's dignity

descend:
1 : to pass from a higher place or level to a lower one <descended from the platform>
2 : to pass in discussion from what is logically prior or more comprehensive
3 a : to originate or come from an ancestral stock or source : derive <descends from an old merchant family> b : to pass by inheritance <a desk that has descended in the family> c : to pass by transmission <songs descended from old ballads>
4 : to incline, lead, or extend downward <the road descends to the river>
5 a : to swoop or pounce down (as in a sudden attack) b : to appear suddenly and often disconcertingly as if from above <reporters descended on the candidate>
6 : to proceed in a sequence or gradation from higher to lower or from more remote to nearer or more recent
7 a : to lower oneself in status or dignity : stoop b : to worsen and sink in condition or estimation


Please tell me you didn't teach the class that the kid who wrote that answer was in...
                   

I lived in Kansas. It is forbidden to talk about evolution in schools.

Oh yeah, I remember that! Didn't that case spawn Pastafarianism?

Not sure.  while in high school, i pissed off a lot of people who did not believe evolution.  i ended the argument by saying, "we have fossils, what dose creation have."

Hopefully better spelling.
