Man's still an ape, and his creed's still a totem pole.

You know, foxes and chimps.

Are you an inherited loan from the ape?

As you can see, there's not a lot of difference between the way a Bonobo walks and the way an early australopithecine would have walked.

SS So we have a bi species environment, we call it a panhomoculture.

As they turn toward us you'll see that the pelvic area of early australopithecines is a little flatter and doesn't have to rotate quite so much from side to side.

Two million years ago at Lake Turkana, Homo erectus, one of our human ancestors, actually lived in this region.

A Planet for All Apes

The ancestor of the apes stayed in the trees our ancestors went out onto the plain.

And then you created Earth about 4.5 billion years ago, and then you got life about four billion years ago, and then you got hominids about 0.006 billion years ago, and then you got our version of hominids about 0.0015 billion years ago.

Jane Goodall on what separates us from the apes

And until 30,000 years ago, at least three upright walking apes shared the planet Earth.

Tarzan is playing at the Adelphia Theatre.

He argued and it's now a fairly common theory that if we found behavior patterns similar or the same in our closest living relatives, the great apes, and humans today, then maybe those behaviors were present in the ape like, human like ancestor some seven million years ago.

You squareheaded ape.

Oldworld monkeys!

I thought he said by the monkey house.

Amy O'Toole Thank you, Beau. We thought that it was easy to see the link between humans and apes in the way that we think, because we look alike.

Does she look elsewhere?

In southern lands there are humanlike animals called apes.
