Would it make you feel better if I said "Not a modern ape?"
Yeah, I think that would be cleaer, since kakip seems to have missed a very important point point about natural history and evolution.
Just to reiterate, kakip, no-one is trying to say that humans are descended from gorillas, chimps, bonobos or any other modern ape.
Humans and modern apes share a common ancestor. This ancestor was very similar to modern apes, whatever you want to call it, but not the same as any living species. Hope this helps, kakip.
