In the first video on evolution,
-
I drew something that I called an ape, and then I drew a tail on it.
-
And what I want to do in this video is clarify that that was absolutely wrong.
-
Apes - Apes have no tails.
-
And it's actually one of the main distinguishing characteristics of apes.
-
There's obviously other primates that also have no tails,
-
but apes definitely have no tails.
-
And just to clarify, there's kind of two families within apes
-
and their common names are "the lesser apes" and "the great apes."
-
And the lesser apes - the lesser apes are things like gibbons,
-
And the great apes are things like chimpanzees and gorillas,
-
and, me, or human beings!
-
So these right here, these are the great apes.
-
These are the great apes,
-
And clearly this great ape right here did not have a great sense of style
-
in 1994.
-
And really didn't feel the need to have a haircut!
