I gave up the hanging upside down thing because the blood rushing to my head became somewhat disturbing. 

I carried out a poll of 100,000 random members of the public, nationally and the consensus was in fact, 'Every Single Person gave up the act of hanging upside down from trees for exactly the same reason... No one cared for the sensation of blood rushing to their heads'.   Because of this there is no need what so ever to swing from branch to branch in order to find the perfect "Hanging upside down place".

You can't do either? I can.

I think it's because we're not that advanced!

Tarzan could do all this and more.

House cats and tigers are related, which one would you have in your house? Also I haven't seen any humans with tails for hanging from trees!

I can do both. I'm not a kid anymore, but I an't dead either.

Watching little boy play on the jungle jim,  you would think they had some monkey in them.   By the time they find girls they have lost their tails and desire to climb trees. 

I'm not related to any monkey creatures just a hand full of dingbats.

It was never said that we evolved from apes but that we each evolved from the same source. One went one way, the other went the other. I'm on hell of a tree climber by the way........

Maybe we need a tail ?

Maybe Bigfoot could answer this better? But that's because we didn't evolve from apes.

Why can’t whales walk if they once lived on the land?

When I was a child I climbed trees quite a lot and enjoyed going to the top for the view. Folk who are unfamiliar with climbing trees are often afraid of heights and would not consider climbing a tree. Walking a slack-line cable takes a bit of practice but I’ve not seen a monkey do that. 

We will get there.  Right now we're learning first how to scream like monkeys.

In order to answer this I went out and tried jumping from tree to tree. I found out that I could'nt. I am now using one finger to type this answer as all my bones are broken. Ha

I've never seen a monkey type a memo on a laptop yet. I don't think were from the same family! There are different level of intelligent, us human are at the highest in the animal kingdom, Well that is for most of us, there a few exceptional among us that haven't evolve yet, behaving like animals.

I have a "Brain of a Monkey ,So I have been told !

Some kinds of monkeys are worse than others on this skill and the human ancestors were part of this kind on the one hand. On the other hand (pun 100% incidental) humans found better use for their hands than to hang all day from trees branches...

I think the aliens put us here. The monkeys were already living on earth. There are reports coming out now that some of Darwin's theories are wrong.

I think it's because of the stigma attached.

We did, when we were kids. Little kids are monkeys.  Seriously , if we evolved from apes----why are there still apes ?  And apes are herbivorous, for the most part, adn we are omnivorous.

We evolved from aliens. What do you know about aliens?

we morphed

Its the only way I communicate with the people I work with, they're pretty good at it too, and all the while the boss still squats and scratches his ...a....which is all he's good at!!

Because we are not monkeys.

Also, I don't identify my cousin as my brother.
