OH we are monkeys, or decended.  I'm not at all ashamed of that.  I don't believe the fairy tale of adam and eve.  However, I do believe in evolution.  According to evolution, older is not better...but newer.  The newer version of all creatures has new adaptations.  Which is why the department of Neurology at the University of Chicago found that europeans and asians have new mutations in the neural tissue that enhances cognitive skills.  Europeans/Asians are newer.  Humans are evolving.
