We're All A Bunch of Chimpanzees

The Trouble With America is we're all a bunch of chimpanzees.

As studied by The Harvard Medical School in Boston, there is much genetic evidence that man interbred with Chimpanzees for thousands of years.

If you can get past the "Ewwww, gross" factor, it's actually kind of an interesting discovery.

According to the article in Nature magazine:

If such a hybrid population really did exist, the question remains as to whether it died out, or whether modern humans or chimpanzees (or both) are its descendants. It's very difficult to say, admits Reich. "The fossil data suggest — very tenuously — that it may have been humans who are descended from the hybrid population."

If you ever took an anthropology course, or are interested in the evolutionary process, you'll know that the single greatest obstacle facing anthropologists is determining what the missing link was. This study sheds new light that may lead anthropologists to reconsider fossil evidence and be able to say one species exhibits characteristics of a missing link.

I'm no anthropologist, but that's what I think, anyway. Feel free to call me a complete idiot if you disagree.
