CHAPTER 9
ARE WE HUMANS
OR
HAIRLESS APES?
Copyright © 2008, Chérie Phillips
Have we evomorphed (evolved and metamorphosed) yet? Our behavior shows we are more like apes than humans.
July 2008. These chimps (apes) are our closest relatives (98.6 percent exact same genes) and are very, very violent by natural temperament -- but so are we as evidenced by the news. Is our human concept of ourselves ideal or real? A desire to evolve into humans? Or are we just another species of apes: the HAIRLESS APES?
If you look like a Hairless Ape, act like a Hairless Ape, then you are a Hairless Ape.
Perhaps we are still struggling to evolve into humans.
Will we make it before we destroy ourselves.
Nature
will not let us destroy everything.
Nature has no preference:
Those who survive
inherit the world.

Ape Sleeping.
July 27, 2008. I wish I could get a clearer picture. This ape has wrapped his arm around his head while he sleeps which gives a distorted look to his head. Perhaps this is a defense to protect himself even while sleeping. It makes him look quite fierce.
Therefore, it is actually his arm that you see on top of his head, not a
"hairdo".
The picture in the camera shows his cute face with closed eyes, but I
cannot reproduce it well here.
I will keep trying.
The Honolulu Zoo provides the opportunity for any visitor to study the social aspects of apes, our closet living relatives. However, because of their violent nature, even the zookeepers at the Honolulu Zoo will not enter their domain, not even to feed them, for fear of being killed!!. They are far more dangerous than even the Sumatran tiger. The zookeepers feed them by dropping food from a cliff that surrounds their domain. Observing them through a glass window at the zoo is like looking back into our own human past in one of the rare opportunities provided by a zoo (must see for all tourists located here in Waikiki).

July 27, 2008. Apes just want to have fun playing around and enjoying sports.
The light brown splotches in the two apes playing together are light
distortion.
While they have private areas in their domain (it is quite large and open terrain) we watch them mate, eat, love, fight, kill animals (birds, cats that wander in), and even kick the glass to scare us while viewing them. The chimps (apes) co-evolved with humans from the same genetic Mother. Perhaps this is why humans find it so difficult to resist evilness, and why we need daily spiritual lessons to be good -- as our genetic past struggles to run free with our violent memes of the past from which we evolved.
The term, "meme" was coined by Richard Dawkins (a scientist), which essentially means memories that function like genes in being passed on to others and may even continue being expressed through succeeding generations.

Foot of our closest related species resting against a rock while sleeping.
This is from the same ape as shown sleeping above. The apes like to
prop up their feet against the large rocks while the sleep or even when
just resting.
The apes walk around on the bent lower finger parts only. I thought they walked flat-footed, but they do not. If you notice, the next time you try to lift yourself up, if you use your bent lower fingers, it is much more comfortable. We can learn from our relatives. I believe that it is shown in the recent version of the movie, "King Kong" when the gorilla first arrives to greet the beauty.

The ape on the right is drinking water from a creek while the other apes sit together and chat. (You are seeing a rear view of the ape drinking water.)

This ape is looking right at me. How fascinating, we made eye contact.
While watching the apes and seeing all their moods, for the first time, I really understand our own species when I see us in the "wild" state. As Joyce Meyer says: "I am not yet where I want to be, but thank God, I am not where I used to be."
These apes are violent, and that explains why we are miserable when we stray from a peaceful mind, because we, the Hairless Apes, are trying to evolve out of our violent heritage. Can't we see this? It makes sense. Somehow I can really relate to these apes because after observing them for many months, I see so much of our own species in gestures (clapping their hands), how they grasp things, the competition between them, one starts a fight and they all go "wild" running around throwing things, and kicking the window, and so forth. I watch them hoarding food, scraping it into a pile, and then chewing on the sunflower seeds and spitting out the shells. I saw a man doing the same thing at the bus stop.
There is something, perhaps a challenge, that makes us want to see ourselves as better than "apes." Yet, can you not see our species struggling to evolve? Trying to let go of our past? Wisdom guides us to evolve. That is what religion is all about, guiding us to a higher level of order. We cannot do it ourselves. There is a part of our brain that is more evolved than the part that we use for ordinary thinking. This high level Wisdom is nonconscious, and guides us how to evolve, and helps us move through time to a higher level of intellectual development. We must resist the urge to return to our past, but rather, keep moving forward through time with increasing order and self-discipline, along with all the virtues: reason, courage, justice, self-discipline, empathy, patience, and compassion (caring about ourselves and others).
We must fulfill our species' Manifest Destiny of Humankind: to be caretakers of all living things and protectors of the environment. All life deserves the highest attainable quality. Wisdom will empower us to achieve our destiny.

This ape is drinking water from their usual creek. Notice that they drink by placing their mouth in the creek (as a dog or cat would do) rather than cupping their hands and drinking as we like to do. It seems rather dangerous bending over like this. What if this were in the jungle and the water had crocodiles? You don't want to put your head in there, but rather you would use your hands. Try it and see how vulnerable you feel. Put your head in the sink and drink the water from the faucet. That makes you feel more vulnerable than drinking from your hands or a cup. But, of course, my brother used to dunk me at times, and maybe that is why I feel vulnerable. Do you?
There is an instinct that we have as a preference not to drink like this. But, why does this ape feel safe? Perhaps, this ape is smart and knows that the water has no predators there, but that still would not explain their preference.
However, this tells me that these apes never lived in the wild surrounding by predators, but are more domesticated than they ordinarily would be. I understand that they originated from the St. Louis zoo, but where they came from before that, I don't yet know.

Ape playing around at Honolulu Zoo
Isn't this a darling pose? While playing around, this ape pauses in clearly pensive thought as she looks at her hand. I have seen human children thinking like this, as they first learn by discovering themselves.

May 2008. Apes enjoy the beauty of this blooming tree and often sit amongst the branches which camouflages them at the Honolulu Zoo, and they also enjoy eating the pink blossoms.
