The Apes Are Going To Take Over.

[Robin]

Well that seems to be a sign of evolution right there, next thing you know they will enslave us all! Like that [Homer]Plllllaaanet of the Apes[/Homer].

This Gorilla in the UK has learned to walk from watching his keepers do it, I hope no one punches someone in front of him...





Robin.

 

[Jim Prower]

Um....

We ARE apes. This guy's just becoming like his buddies. X3

 

[daan]

Gibbons can walk upright too.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Pfftt, as long as he doesn't learn to aim and pull a trigger better than me, I can easily take out that damn dirty ape.

While watching the second video, I said awww is so cute then they said he was 6 foot!!

6' and 800 pounds of solid muscle there.

 

[AlexGTV]

99% same genome. I'm not surprised. But truly his upright walking looks more effortless than my attempt to jump between branches!

 

[dhandeh]

It's just Richard keys, seeing that he is unemployed now, probably just going out for a walk.

 

[Neal]

Gibbons can walk upright too.

That was the answer to a question on QI recently.

 

[Grand Prix]

Nah, I'm not too worried about the apes.

 

[Dan_]

Call me when he starts moonwalkin'.

 

[Spacegoat]

I for one welcome our new Gorilla overlords.

 

[axletramp]

Could we interbreed? They must be great to spoon afterwards.

mmm... monkey fun...

 

[Famine]

That's at Port Lympne in Kent.

Which meant he was already more advanced than the locals even when he was licking his own genitals and throwing poo.

 

[axletramp]

Hey, I'm from Kent and take great offense at that... whoa, I've just noticed the fruit bowl is full, must rush...

 

[DK]

Big whoop. We humans have been doing that for 4 million years. Still, Viva la Evolution.

 

[NFSCARBON1]

He can be added to the list of Apes that walk upright. Humans, Gibbons, Chimpanzees and B-Spec Bob's!

 

[AlexGTV]

All he needs is a tie and we can put him to work

 

[axletramp]

Come on guys, think about it. Taking our girls, our jobs, jeezuz, our beers! I say nuke 'em before it's too late!!!

I like beer.

bloody monkeys!

 

[DK]

Taking our girls, our jobs, jeezuz, our beers!

They can have our Katie Prices, Snookis, cans of Stella Artois/Dutch Gold and burger-flipping jobs in McDonalds/Burger King. But if they try to take [insert sexy model here], I'm getting my shotgun.

Yeah. If I had a shotgun I'd get mine too! I've got a Grand Voyager - that can do serious damage!

Let's storm the zoo and stop this NOW!!!

[Of course if there are any 'incidents' at the zoo in the next few days, especially regarding monkeys or apes of any description, I can take no responsibility and the past few comments should only be taken in the spirit in which they were meant!] phew!

 

[Coxis]

It's ok guys

Being similar to humans, they will also pick up our vices. Soon enough they will all die from ODs, emphysema and drunk driving.

...drive byes...

 

[nobuffalo]

Who's buying?

 

[sumbrownkid]

I would suspect that an Ape standing and walking around like a human for a period time will do no favors to its spine.

Be careful that he won't flame you when he becomes a member of GTP in a few years and reads your post about him.

95%

 

[AlexGTV]

And they have a sense of humour. Note that it also is a measure of intelligence.

 

[Famine]

95%

No, he was right. Though it depends on what you're talking about. Whole genome? 99%+. Actual sequence? 97%. 95% genome similarity would be the difference between a man and his dog...

But there's more to genetics than just a genome - or a sequence.

The video clip said 95% and that's what I was saying nothing more, nothing less

 

[kikie]

In this video clip, taking from the alien thread, the narrator (this is probably the wrong word in this contex but you know what I mean) talks about the genoom of a gorilla which is according him 95% the same as human genome. Fast forward 8 min. and 7 sec.
