We got monkeys smoking cigs, gorillas walking upright. What's next. An orangutan driving a damn car?

Primates have been able to walk upright. They just don't normally do it. This, like most breaking news lately, is nothing new.

Moreover, it's just another nail in the coffin of every theory opposing evolution. This is just walking evidence that eventually change occurs in every living thing, good or ill. At one point WE were the apes beginning to walk upright.

Also we have no sovereignty over sentience. If nature dictates that humans coexist with another smart species in a million years or so, we should allow it.

Most of the old world monkies can walk upright, they just usually don't because it's too tiring for them. They can still do it though, and they can run as well.

As for smoking cigarettes, that's nothing special either, as any crab will tell you:

Well so far we got those organ grinder monkeys that smoke cigarettes, we got baboons stealing food from markets in India or some other places.
