Actually Orangutans are closer... In that line of thought you are skipping a whole slew of scorpids, and other aquatic critters, proto-reptiles, reptiles, mammal like reptiles that eventually evolved into mammals that eventually developed into proto-primates that eventually evolved into the ancestors of our pre-human ancestors, to include the common ancestors that we chare with apes and monkeys....which is also a brief overview. It's not from the protoplasmic pool right to primates.

CHLCA...what is that? Are line only seems to go back to CHLCA (Chimpanzee-human last common ancestor) Before that it's assumed we crawled out of a puddle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
