MONKEY NEWS
Meet the Kipunji monkey. Possibly a new genus of monkey, recently discovered in the mountains of Africa.
I'm no expert, but unlike being a new species, a new genus means a whole new line of monkey that isn't descended from other monkeys at all.
It's thought the Kipunji is descended from ground-dwelling baboons, and then evolved back up into the trees. If confirmed, the new monkey, official name Rungwecebus kipunji, will help scientists further log the evolution of species, and put another nail into the ancient myth of intelligent design. The doctrine that the earth was made in seven days some 11,000 years ago is still taught to children in many American schools.
According to a recent survey, 100 million Americans believe in it.
It was also discovered recently that two new "academy" schools in the UK, part of Blair's education revolution, are refusing to teach evolution as part of the curriculum.
This is a Christian conspiracy as it seeks to fight Islamic fundamentalism with its own version of religious idiocy.
All hail Kipunji!
He'll probably be extinct by next year....

Too true, mate, the religous nutters won't stop until they have taken us all back ten thousand years and burnt the earth to a crisp. You've got to love the irony of 'intelligent design' though, bit like calling Bush a philosopher or saying that suicide bombers are 'spreading the love'. How long before the Kipunji are offered on a menu by some twat who also does 'dangerous sports' or something?
Wise words Mike. I think I know your father, the Dr.
They're trying to get the new monkey on the endangered species list to protect them - there's only about a 1,000 of them left. Thanks for contributing, and welcome to E.R.
