The Chimp-Pig hypothesis.

I was unaware of this hypothesis and I think “wow” is in order. “If someone pointed out a few random features of humans, and then pointed out that some other random animal shares those cherry-picked features, you shouldn’t be very impressed – in fact this is comically easy to do. But if someone goes through a primatology textbook and makes a list of all features that are shared among primates except humans, and then goes through other animal textbooks and finds that every one of those features is shared (in a detailed, specific manner) with one specific, non-primate animal, you’ve got a much stronger hypothesis.” ~ learn more
