Sometimes our body tries to include traits of our ape ancestors.

But apes don't have tails.

However approximately 25mya the monkey and ape lines split so itust have come from at least that far back.

My bad, definitely speaking informally. Should have said primate ancestors.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
