- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Wrong, NERD
Monkey is a common usage synonym for simian, and recently the scientific community has acknowledged that the carve out of apes from the term simply is not defensible cladistically.
In truth it was almost assuredly a reaction to creationist bitching about being "descended from monkeys" and experts are simply now accepting that humanity isn't that special and those idiots would bitch regardless.
According to that logic, it would never be possible be evolve out of a clade which is totally true. By definition it's impossible to evolve out of a clade so if monkeys are a clade, we belong to it as well.
