No, I am not dissing one of my blood relatives…
I am merely riffing on a post
by Wisegeek:
“Mushrooms
are more closely related to animals than to plants.
Mushrooms
are fungi, which are actually genetically closer to animals that they are to
plants.
Scientists
use a genealogical path known as the Tree of Life to trace the evolution of living
organisms, and they have determined that fungi share a common ancestor with
animals and are completely branched off from plants…”
They share a common ancestor
with – us?
Is that bizarre or what?
And we have a difficult time
accepting those sweet, furry chimps…
What do ya say?
PLEASE let us know what you
think about this one!
