That is a very long-winded and opinionated article just to make the point that "ape" is not a taxonomic term, and it's not used completely consistently.

In any case, please don't promote anti-science articles (this one begins by complaining about "those who accept and promote evolution").

sorry, i came across way too bluntly. i really should have noted how suprised i was the an expert thinks its a misconception to think of ourselves as apes.

in any case, i think the author is very much in favour of science.
