Re: Lunar month
well. the moon has like a 14 year expanded cycle... our months only sort of correlate. they are far better correlated to the 365.25 day year. and we have 30 and 31 day months cause some roman emperors thought they were more important than others. or some other ridiculous mythology.

Re: Confusing words
kingdom
phylum
class
order
family
genus
species
they're artificially assigned categories used to identify living things and how similar or dissimilar they are.

Re: Confusing words
there has been no such intermingling. common ancestry should never insinuate intermingling. that's idiocy. common ancestry insinuates divergence; intermingling is convergence.

Re: Confusing words
Sorry, but interbreeding is what causes one species to acquire the traits of another species.
no. you don't get it. it's not that these ancestors acquired the traits of humans. it's that humans acquired from this ancestor IT'S traits. we came from it, not the other wway round. it came from some older ape-thing. that came from some other weird older mammal thing with came from god knows what before. (i'm no paleontologist.)
*edit*
only for you ps.
