Evolution Proved! Christine O'Donnell Forced to Admit Error

As one of CJG's favorite scribes, Bill Bryson, once wrote about an effort in the 1990s to again ban the teaching of evolution in the Tennessee public schools, "the danger for Tennesseans isn't so much that they may be descended from apes as overtaken by them." Which brings us to Christine O'Donnell. Remember her? She was the dim-witted Tea Party/Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Delaware who once asked Bill Maher, if evolution was a valid theory, why aren't monkeys still evolving into human beings?

Well, crankyjewishguy (CJG) sure hopes she saw this story and this YouTube video of a gorilla named Ambam who lives in a sanctuary called the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in England because, as you can see in the video, and the photo below, the answer to Christine O'Donnell's question is, "they are." Ambam, you see, walks upright, not on all fours like some humans.

Ambam, a Western lowland gorilla, out for a stroll.

In fact, some are evolving so fast that it only took a few days for Ambam to go from walking upright to this...

Yup, that's an iPhone G4 and just like his human counterparts Ambam is so engrossed in sending meaningless texts and downloading pornography that he's ignoring his son. In about two weeks he'll be ready for the U.S. Senate himself.
