It's hard to say why, but I've always felt that there's something about gorillas that makes them feel closer to us than chimps. Something in their eyes. It's like they're more grown up - chimps are like fractious children in comparison. Gorillas seem more, well, considered....
My feelings on this matter overrule the genetic evidence, so obviously I now have to form a semi-religious organisation and campaign to overturn the obviously defective science. I'll call my new theory Irreducable Empathy.
