Ape Clarification

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    In the first video on evolution,
  • 0:02 - 0:08
    I drew something that I called an ape, and then I drew a tail on it.
  • 0:08 - 0:12
    And what I want to do in this video is clarify that that was absolutely wrong.
  • 0:12 - 0:17
    Apes - Apes have no tails.
  • 0:17 - 0:21
    And it's actually one of the main distinguishing characteristics of apes.
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    There's obviously other primates that also have no tails,
  • 0:24 - 0:28
    but apes definitely have no tails.
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    And just to clarify, there's kind of two families within apes
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    and their common names are "the lesser apes" and "the great apes."
  • 0:34 - 0:40
    And the lesser apes - the lesser apes are things like gibbons,
  • 0:40 - 0:44
    And the great apes are things like chimpanzees and gorillas,
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    and, me, or human beings!
  • 0:46 - 0:51
    So these right here, these are the great apes.
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    These are the great apes,
  • 0:53 - 0:58
    And clearly this great ape right here did not have a great sense of style
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    in 1994.
  • 1:00 -
    And really didn't feel the need to have a haircut!
