Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for September 22, 2022

Some of us are more evolved than others.

Beware the MAGA Apes! They’re deplorable.

We hear this sad song a lot. But human kindness to members of our own and other species is at least equally remarkable.

Too bad we share 98% of our genetics with chimpanzees. If we had descended from bonobos, perhaps sex instead of killing would be the norm.

Correct in every way.

Now I know the true story of the The Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

“A quirk of evolution…” Really?

Just kiss and make up.

I think it was Herbert Spencer who noted that humans, as a species, are both gregarious (we would probably say “social”) and predatory. A volatile combination! The rest is history. . . .

Well, we won’t be the dominant species much longer…our last technological breakthu is global warming.

For being so “smart” you would think not all technological breakthrus are really a very good idea, once used in the real world. Think plastic, for one as well as many many others.

The one in the suit is the cruelest and most diabolical!

“The forbidden zone was once a paradise. Your breed made a desert of it.”

Australopithecines are bitter because they have never developed a good beer.
