Why do humans walk upright? Because they are used to walking on the
bottom of the ocean!!!
Why are they relatively
hairless? Because they are spiritually related to dophins & whales!!
Why does human sexual behavior differ from most other
primates? Because they have 20 years to be told what not to do, not just 5!!
Why are humans the only primate to acquire spoken language? How do you

Why are human babies plump and other primates skinny? So they can float out to sea when young!
