We are technically/biologically apes. We have a common ancestor with other surviving apes, was that ancestor an ape too? What is your point?

My point is that we are all apes.
We did evolve from a common ancestor and that has been proven by DNA tests.
We do have however have the ability to speak - a voice box -
that makes us entirely different from apes.
How come chimps aren't able to speak?

I understand what Bobby is saying.

The clip shows that the Apes are more like 'relatives' and thus our common ancestor was neither Ape or Human. So then, what was 'our' Ape & Human ancestor then - before the branch-off?

The point of Darwinism (which plagerised Wallace who 'originally' did the fieldwork) - making that less food means the smaller species will out survive the larger ones (The giant Haast Eagle of NZ is a good example).
I guess all the non-white 'little' people who are breeding in mass numbers around the world will survive.

I would like to add that what then will be the next 'branch-off'?
Where would it come from and from whom?
The more 'genetic variation' seems the successful 'trait' of a more advanced species. With Africans having more DNA variations right back to the earliest of Human gene pools, than Caucasians & Asians, I can see why 'newer' advanced species have come out of Africa. Look what happened to the shallow America's tribes that came from a small gene pool from northern Siberia to populate two new continents - they were too fragile once other races came. Isolation weakened the Aboriginal gene pool.

Personally. I think the 'new' species will be entirely new and a new evolutionary step beyond being remotely related to Humans, Apes, etc.
I think the Orca, once the connection of communication is made, will 'out-think' us and before we know it, we will be serving their imagination (dream). They've already shown (via wild orca) they understand reason, trust, honour and a few more. They also have more to their brains, that us humans can only dream of.
Basically, Orca are more intelligent than us - they are just in the lavae stage of their evolution.

He's being quite lateral here. Quite amazing to see Bobby's brain pull out such a lateral state of mind.
With Apes being Apes and us being Human. He is asking as to how 'we' are Apes as well? Two separate words: Ape & Human. We did not evolve from 'those' Apes that are still alive today. So our Common Ancestor gave birth to Apes & Humans, not Apes and from Apes came Humans. So if our 'current' Ape relatives are 'the' Apes - then what was our 'Ancestor' called? That is, what is the 'new' name that we should call them?
