Monkey Business

One of my most enduring memories from my years in public schools is my sixth grade teacher asking the class how mankind came to be. Susan Heller raised her hand and answered that we were descended from primates. The teacher didn't simply correct her, she went ballistic and went into a lengthy rant, screaming that nobody was going to tell her that her ancestors were apes. Poor lady, she was closer to our fuzzy relatives than she realized.
