There was an article on the Dawkins website that reported that an estimated 125,000 Western Lowland Gorillas had been found somewhere in a swampy forest in Congo. Maybe the Gorillas have a few more years up their sleeves before poaching, bushmeat trade and deforestation get them……

i know brian, that was so exciting! i saw it on cnn. but what really got me was the video, there were TONS of gorillas hanging out in the same swamp, which got me wondering about their ‘typical’ family practices of one silverback per group – i wonder if they’re acting different in this swamp. can’t wait to hear more.

Hi John; I’m having problems with formating your site; any one else? I’m using Firefox 2.0.0.16 and it started loosing formatting 2 or 3 days ago (your site only). Perhaps some update at my end or at yours has created the problem: any ideas?

Now John, before you tell me that half of all primate species are facing extinction, you will need to define the word “species”. Or am I asking for too much?

“I like primates, I even suspect my mother might be one!” I must admit, I have my doubts too.

Rest easy. Fossils of all of our primate species will one day be prominently displayed in the Evolution Museum built by the Raccoon-descended intelligent heirs of this world. (my theory is that raccoons will be the ones that outcompete and thrive once we are gone. They’re wily little bastards.)
