Does "ambam" (the walking monkey) boost the evolutionary theory?

Pitdown man was a hoax if thats what you were asking.

Ambam is a Gorilla that has learned to walk upright at Port Lympne wild animal park in Kent.

I dont think so - gorillas can walk upright for short distances, and this particular gorilla has alot of contact with humans. They’re very intelligent and social, so its probably to do with the human contact. Also, the origin of speces theory isnt that humans evolved from apes, its that we share a common ancestor. This gorilla is hardly going to slowly turn into a human because he has learned to balance his weight and mastered bipedal locomotion.

HAHA, now lets see if its beneifical.

Here’s my hypothesis, “Her change in behaviour is almost certainly the result of brain damage”.

I don’t know but I will declare right now “ I DID”NT COME FROM NO DANG MONKEY!

Anthropologists and animal behaviorists believe that one of the greatest things that separate the human species from other primates is its ability to ‘perceive’ what another being (human or otherwise) is thinking AND intentionally imitate them to see what it feels like. Ambam may be an exception to this rule: He was raised by humans and is placed in a zoo where humans come and observe him regularly. It is possible, because of his early human contact that he, for whatever reason, has tried to imitate those he sees, found it to be easier and continues the practice. He does seem to have a relaxed natural gait; however I do not think it is an evolutionary mutation that will make him or his progeny ‘more’ human than other great apes.

When I was there, I saw him turn to one of those cute female gorillas and distinctly heard him say: . “… Hey gorgeous watch me taking the piss out of those puny Homo Saps. ! …” .

It sounds as if you think animals are not sentient beings.

Yes I think so.
