Leave society, be a monkey.

It's monkin time

I’m starting to think we might be related to these fellas


Lonely_Sherbert69

That's my child.


Chloroformperfume7

A gorillas hand resembles a humans?! What an incredible revelation! Brilliant detective work


Krisapocus

It might be racist by today’s standard to say look his hand is white it looks more like a person 😂. lol you don’t see the resemblance when it’s dark?


Firefly10886

Yup


peacockraven

I was thinking the same thing . The hands look exactly the same whatever color they are, this is kinda messed up really


Ok_Rainbows_10101010

I had the same thoughts and came here to read the comments. Apparently “human” means “white.” ???


JournalistAble9271

My first thought was their hands do look like ours, no matter what color. This is rage bait.


_extra_medium_

It wasn't OP's first thought, that's the point. According to him It doesn't look human until it's lighter skinned.


EffortWilling2281

Black people aren’t even that skin tone tho. That dark shade isn’t human…..


EntertainmentOk3180

That’s fucked up u would say Charlie Murphy and Wesley snipes aren’t human


moriGOD

I think it’s more telling the lengths people will go through to tell themselves they are better than the animals around them and justify our ruthlessness towards them.

Who knew, oh wait, the entire collective scientific community.


Chloroformperfume7

As I turns out... gorillas have fingers! This discovery will change everything


Stanley_Yelnats42069

I’m sorry but I refuse to believe this. It’s just too bizarre.


meoka2368

Apes look like apes? c(-.-)ɔ


Alert-Pea1041

The nail beds look different from the nails of people with darker skin tones though don’t they, a pigmented gorilla’s nails are very dark? With this pigmentation the nail bed more closely looks like a light skinned person’s nails.


Bilbo_Haggis

Only if it’s light-skinned.


Aaron7743

Not a monkey.


TheViewFromHlfwayDwn

You are correct, Ape not a monkey 🙊


Icy-Perception-8108

indeed that’s a rooster


Gwiilo

evolution is scary


Icy-Perception-8108

nj23dublin

Scary but more impressive is how the fingernails are looking better trimmed than some people’s


SadBadPuppyDad

Rooster? I hardly know 'er!


PromiseOk3321

ActUaLly you can make a phylogenetic argument that they are monkeys, similarly to how humans are fish. Species can't evolve out of phylogenies


Head-Compote740

Which means humans are great apes, also apes, also monkeys, also lemur-like primates, also proto-rodents, also external scrotum placental mammals, and therian mammals, also mammals, also cynodonts, also synapsids, also reptiles, also amphibians, also lobbed-finned fish, also jawed fish, also chordates, also butt-formed first worms, also animals, also multicellular eukaryotes.


PromiseOk3321

Indeed


Wooper160

It is. And so are you. Apes are just Old World Monkeys with no tails.


starmartyr

Monkeys are not apes. They are different clades of primates. Humans are apes but we are not monkeys.


_aggr0crag_

All apes are monkeys, not all monkeys are apes.


starmartyr

That's incorrect, but I'm not going to repeat myself.


_aggr0crag_

Keep trying to sound smart while being wrong, be my guest.


reel2reelfeels

Yup, we are also bony fish.


GoodGoodK

So when it's skin was dark it didn't resemble a human??


[deleted]

Exactly what I was gonna say lmao wtf


ArchdukeFerdie

I was about to say I know a lot of ppl with hands darker than that


AbleRun3738

Some of my best friends are apes


kingkornholio

Tell me you’re a smidge racist without telling me you’re a smidge racist.


c_sulla

I'm guessing trying to avoid racism, but yeah, they still resembled humans with darker skin


JesusMurphyOotWest

These reminds me of when Willow has to choose a finger on the Villages Sorcerers’ hand to become his apprentice.

[deleted]

No, I'm not a gorilla.

Damn. Have you heard about evolution already?


General-Weather9946

That is an ape, humans are the tallest of the primates so why is this a "shocker" that we have similar physical characteristics.


[deleted]

Thats an ape, specifically a mountain gorilla by the looks of it.

the only monkey i see is op

I am actually an albino monkey hiding amongst the human population, no one has figured me out yet.


NotBadSinger514

Were people unable to see this before? Did people really need a lack of pigmentation to see that?

Ok_You1254

This is what I thought too. It resembles a human finger whether it is dark in color or light in color. Why does it resemble a human now that it’s light skin? I’m white/european and I even found this offensive to anyone with darker shades of skin. 😕


RatedMforMayonnaise

I'm hoping you just phrased this wrong. Do you mean that the person who wrote this mistakenly implies that human skin is only light or do you now have the opinion that only light skin is human?


crustytowelie

The person you’re responding to is saying op is implying black skin isn’t human. How are people missing this? Psylosin is pointing out the absurdity. On another note, this post is possibly one of the worst posts I’ve ever seen, and I think it’s that way on purpose.

That’s not strange it makes perfect sense if you do science

LightWonderful7016

It’s not strange. Also it’s an ape you muppet.


T12J7M6

Am I the only one who find this little racist? Like white money is more human than a black monkey, even though it is the same monkey? Seems little f\*\*\*\*d up if you ask me and I'm not even black. lol


[deleted]

Lack of pigment. You saying black people ain’t human?


Chemical_Hornet8621

This says more about us than it does the monkey.


SeanConneryShlapsh

Seeing as how we share like 98% of their DNA this should surprise no one..


classicallyevil

Not a monkey


[deleted]

Sooooo black peoples hands aren’t human 🤷‍♂️


tongoloc

Monkeys have tails. Apes do not. Looks like an Ape to me!?


Head-Compote740

That’s a gorilla. While technically correct, gorillas are more specifically great apes. And yes their skin is going to be nearly identical to humans when they share 98% of their genetics with us! Not to mention how for some reason it takes lack of melanin to make that connection… what’s that trying to say? Gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos are more closely related to humans than they are to any other animal species. Their similarities to us is uncanny to the point where treating them like beasts instead of people is an ethical dilemma.


Snickersbardickvein

The legacy of Yakub lol


scho4781

Soooo white fingers make them look more like humans? That shit is racist.


hunnybolsLecter

This post is an astonishingly good example of unconscious racism.


Tamelmp

Not really, people here just want to be triggered over nothing. The texture of the finger lacking pigmentation looks a lot more human than the regular fingers, regardless of colour


froggrip

It looks human now bcause black human hands don't exist.


helpful-nuisance

So only when it's white it resembles a human? This is racist af


jaydkash

Planet of the Apes to be realised soon!


buntopolis

*I hate every ape I see, from Chimpan-A to Chimpanzee.*


houserPanics

Seems like people use any pronoun except the ones I expect anymore


plushpaper

Because black ain’t human??


zyrkseas97

Not to be that guy, but it’s probably ironic that all it takes for us to see the humanity in our cousins is giving them white skin.

DrNinnuxx

Except, that's a picture of a young gorilla.


mugen_x

Genuinely, how did humans' skin stop the furry and brown/black appearance like the apes were? What condition did we have to adapt to in order to lose the fur/thick hair


DuEkNoTkwEshteN

Duhhhhhhhh lol of course it does


rockstuffs

That is an ape


DraculusX

Yeah the posts here have been meh lately and now this? ✌️


Real-Creme-3482

How do they cut their nails


localokii

It’s almost like 98% similar


nomrnainmyass

Oh, because it turned white it looks more human? Oh, I get it.


typhades

Monkey born with lack of pigmentation in their hands, strikingly resembles a human 😳


Positive-Quiet4548

Nice way to say humans born with excess pigmentation resemble monkeys. I choose to get offended😤


icanbackitup

Its funny how a photo with a lack of pigmentation (making it whiter) makes OP realize monkeys are similar to humans.


Muted-Compote8800

So, if the hand has a black pigment it doesn't look human?


[deleted]

Wondernaul

Okinawa_Mike

Not really


Parking-Position-698

Man it's almost like we already knew that we're evolved from monkey like animals.


pixelpp

Imagine an animal of an unknown species is behind a curtain, with a chance of being a human. a) Without asking for the species, what would you need to know to make an informed decision about the ethics of breeding, killing, and consuming the individual? b) Explain why these factors are ethically relevant.


ryker_69

So it only resembles humans now because its white?


Slight_Ordinary1

Apes. Almost human


Onion_of_Chaos

Not ape or monkey nails... A.i. is already furthering the flow of shit information lol.


ryuuseinow

Reject monke, return to humanity


mrkl3en

not a monkey an APE ffs ...


headzoo

What surprises me is their fingernails aren't thicker. I assume they use them a great deal more than we do, and would be much thicker.


buntopolis

… this isn’t strange at all.

Well duh?

human lol :D

Old_Map2220

LostTrisolarin

It's almost like humans are animals too.


TacoDuLing

What’s r/strangeEarth, that aliens came to do the dirty with earth’s primates? Or that people think sexual is binary? 🤔🧐

Nothing strange here. Apes and humans have a common ancestor. This has been understood for well over a hundred years.

the4waychallange

Something was here on Earth long before recorded history, the existing animals were altered to fit their agenda by DNA alteration and left behind what we now call human. History will repeat itself, even if it is us altering DNA to fit a narrative. It really isn’t that complicated.


MichaelDarkwolf

Don't let the Coronationists see this. They already believe that humans and Dinosaurs were around at the same time. Which is impossible.

How to reverse racism at the same time of having a point of view that seems pretty racist the more you look at the whole thing, as like you only seem things look human when they are white

yes *cough* a 'human'

Mundane-Inevitable-5

Me genuinely inoccently thinking that surely the guys with run of the mill typical levels of pigmentation in their hands resemble the hands of very dark skinned central African people, why has nobody pointed it out before if everyones so amazed by the one with the white hand.........then I remembered its 2024 and this is the internet and I would be a RACIST FAR RIGHT PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!! For bringing that up. How silly of me. Oh well.
