monkeys arent predators and therefore don't need to outcompete other predators
monkeys dont have a larynx that allows for complex speech
monkeys didnt get lucky
Jose Rivera
Speciesism. Check your human privilege, shitlord.

>monkeys arent predators stop right there fgt
Jordan Smith
MSc biology
dont even come near me, monkeys arent predators
Ethan Johnson
apes or monkeys?
Hunter Peterson
fucking monkeys dude theyre all monkeys
classifications are a meme
James Stewart
There was probably a giant monkey kingdom where evolution took place.
Human like the human tribes still 4000 years behind, being stuck in one village with only a few contacts will only lead to stagnation..
In the monkey kingdom a few superintelligences probably evolved and bred. Eventually so far apart from the others, they no longer interacted once the population was self-sustaining.
This could have been a million years ago...
Julian Miller
They are physiologically built for strength and not dexterity that invention would be demando.
Ryder Gray
when we diverged from monkeys, we where very small animals; 13 grams and few centimetres long (yes, long, not erect, not even trying yet)
Leo Hill
This is an extremely ignorant post. Have you never heard of George Washing Carver, Ramses, Hannibal, or the countless number of guys who are no doubt geniuses but not famous-- such as pic related? Fuck off to /pol/ with this
Noah Wood
op you racist basterd
Jackson Diaz
or what do u call it when u bash on another species? phylogenic bigotry? anthropocentrism?
Lincoln Morales
No, monkeys are a prey animal of other animals and chimpanzees (like the chimp in the OP image). OP probably meant chimps, not monkeys anyway.
Humans and other similar hominids killed off competition and interbred until modern day humans were all that was left. Had humans never appeared something else in the hominid family may have evolved in a similar was as humans did.
Monkeys have more things to do than destroy our planet

Wow I'm jealous

language.
can't think or reason without language (see societies using languages without past tense, numbers above 3, etc). If you don't have the words or symbols to express an idea, you cannot think it.
can't teach without language either, in the sense of anything beyond watch-and-learn (e.g. mathematics)
Brayden Hughes
Sapir-Whorf is bullshit just fyi
Adam Williams
>societies using languages without past tense
That sounds like a very forward thinking people. Liberals I suppose?
Luke Howard
Have you ever tried throwing a handful of shit? Don't judge.
Xavier Williams
I'll translate your negative thinkspeak:
Language is why. You can think and reason with language. You can think of and express ideas with words and symbols. You can teach with language.
Fyi 'Not' is a useless word. Just say what it is you're talking about.
Matthew Smith
>monkeys arent predators How do you get a MSc bio without ever hearing of a baboon? Or a mandrill? Or how about macaques, including the Crab-Eating Macaque? Monkeys aren't obligate carnivores (apart from tarsiers, which mostly eat insects anyhow) if that what's you're saying, but plenty of kinds of monkey are predaceous at least in part.
BS bio/geo, working on my MS in geo come at me bro.
David Howard
>Fyi 'Not' is a useless word.
MFW the word doesn't even appear in user's post you're replying to
Christopher Edwards
kek
Alexander Rivera
Well, I mean, we're several evolutionary steps removed from monkeys. They're like the retarded cousin.
Brandon Foster
can't is can not
Camden Ward
Are you high? Stating what something can do gives no implications of what something cannot do - necessitating the word "not".
Asher Campbell
What something can do is much more informative. What something can't do is useless.
Jeremiah Parker
no, it's not. that's ridiculous.
William Gray
Read this and come back to sweet Veeky Forums in a few months. Then you'll see the light.
Luis Bailey
I've been over this with my friends a million times. When ordering they talk about what they don't want on the pizza and I'm like, "Just tell me what you do want on it."
Joseph King
We killed off the other monkeys that were on their way to do things we're doing now... And had sex with them and some of them died on their own.
Jonathan Myers
>SOME few (very few) humans build rockets FTFY >humans used to throw shit at each other some still do, Lrn2humans fgt pls
>why can humans build rockets and smash atoms but monkeys are still throwing shit at each other ? Humans developed the ability to speak. This alone contributes massively to the development of collective knowledge, which itself is largely prerequisite for intellectual advancement and civilization.
William Hall
They won't have shit to do once we're done destroying their ecosystem.
>Humans: 1 >Monkeys: 0
Andrew Cooper
Dear OP, Holy fuck you're stupid. I invite you to open a book and actually try to learn how the theory of evolution works before you ask any other questions that highlight your considerable ignorance. As for your question, I will give you a hint: the shit throwers were not humans. With regard, The Internet
Jordan Reyes
Underrated...
Lincoln Sullivan

Parker Morales
We all know why but we are afraid to say it.
Lincoln Jones
You are an autist.
Jose Thomas
This desu. Once the singularity happens we will become gods, develop time-travel technology, create the universe, and guide our own development.
Juan Cox
Yes user we've evolved from shit flinging to shit posting
Isaac Thomas
I think there are crows that are closer to humans than most monkeys when it comes to advancement
