Week 4, Chimps and Humans
I really don't know when chimps and humans diverged, and I am more confused now than I have ever been. When I was studying primatology in college, I was convinced chimps and humans were closer both culturally and genetically to humans than everyone else thought. Then I shifted back into thinking we were still very different than chimps. And then I stopped thinking about it altogether. Now, I have no idea...and there seems to be arguments on both ends that appeal to me. I guess right now I am comfortable with not knowing.

I love your honesty. Being comfortable with not knowing means you are open to more information and opinions.
