[Taxacom] Monkey Community greatly relieved

[Robin Leech]

Hi Taxacomers,

The monkey community felt great relief upon hearing 
the anti-evolutionists' and Creationists' denial that 
humans came from monkeys.

Where did all this come from out of the blue?  Well, 
my significant other is a teacher, and after she reported 
that we had gone to the Royal Alberta Museum to hear 
talks on the background to Darwin and The Origin of 
Species, one of the other teachers replied in a loud, 
threatening (and threatened?) voice, 
"We didn't come from monkeys!"

It fell on deaf ears when she tried to explain the difference 
between "a common ancestor" and "monkey ancestors".
