About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

annoying fyi, monkeys are just as evolved as homo sapiens are, evolution is NOT like leveling an rpg character or something, there are no simple progressions in evolution from left to right, primitive to sophisticated, the assumed axiom that most people have that creatures evolve from simple to complex is wrong for many fundamental reasons.

Interestingly one of the easiest ways to destabilize this narrative are the concept of parasites, which are creatures that simplified their body plan to exploit their environment better.

also monkeys and apes are very different. not only did we not evolve "from" any extant species, it most certainly was not monkeys.

Homo Sapiens and all apes are monkeys. In the same way as we are mammals. You can not create a monophyletic clade for monkeys that does not include the ancestors of the great apes and thus of humans.

right, we are equally evolved species that share a common ancestor which I think is pretty cool!
