1 00:00:00,395 --> 00:00:02,440 In the first video on evolution, 2 00:00:02,456 --> 00:00:07,770 I drew something that I called an ape, and then I drew a tail on it. 3 00:00:07,770 --> 00:00:11,716 And what I want to do in this video is clarify that that was absolutely wrong. 4 00:00:12,290 --> 00:00:16,862 Apes - Apes have no tails. 5 00:00:16,862 --> 00:00:20,806 And it's actually one of the main distinguishing characteristics of apes. 6 00:00:20,806 --> 00:00:24,335 There's obviously other primates that also have no tails, 7 00:00:24,335 --> 00:00:27,667 but apes definitely have no tails. 8 00:00:27,667 --> 00:00:30,790 And just to clarify, there's kind of two families within apes 9 00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:34,133 and their common names are "the lesser apes" and "the great apes." 10 00:00:34,133 --> 00:00:40,156 And the lesser apes - the lesser apes are things like gibbons, lesser apes, 11 00:00:40,156 --> 00:00:43,594 And the great apes are things like chimpanzees and gorillas, 12 00:00:43,594 --> 00:00:46,421 and, and me, or human beings! 13 00:00:46,421 --> 00:00:50,544 So these right here, these are the great apes. 14 00:00:50,544 --> 00:00:53,346 These are the great apes. 15 00:00:53,346 --> 00:00:58,036 And clearly this great ape right here did not have a great sense of style 16 00:00:58,036 --> 00:00:59,692 in 1994. 17 00:00:59,692 --> 99:59:59,999 And really didn't feel the need to have a haircut.
