In the first video on evolution,

00:00:02.456 --> 00:00:07.770
I drew something that I called an ape, and then I drew a tail on it.

00:00:07.770 --> 00:00:11.716
And what I want to do in this video is clarify that that was absolutely wrong.

00:00:12.290 --> 00:00:16.862
Apes - Apes have no tails.

00:00:16.862 --> 00:00:20.806
And it's actually one of the main distinguishing characteristics of apes.

00:00:20.806 --> 00:00:24.335
There's obviously other primates that also have no tails,

00:00:24.335 --> 00:00:27.667
but apes definitely have no tails.

00:00:27.667 --> 00:00:30.790
And just to clarify, there's kind of two families within apes

00:00:30.790 --> 00:00:34.133
and their common names are "the lesser apes" and "the great apes."

00:00:34.133 --> 00:00:40.156
And the lesser apes - the lesser apes are things like gibbons, lesser apes,

00:00:40.156 --> 00:00:43.594
And the great apes are things like chimpanzees and gorillas,

00:00:43.594 --> 00:00:46.421
and, and me, or human beings!

00:00:46.421 --> 00:00:50.544
So these right here, these are the great apes.

00:00:50.544 --> 00:00:53.346
These are the great apes.

00:00:53.346 --> 00:00:58.036
And clearly this great ape right here did not have a great sense of style

00:00:58.036 --> 00:00:59.692
in 1994.

00:00:59.692 --> 99:59:59.999
And really didn't feel the need to have a haircut.
