I don’t think people think much about the actuality of what Darwin said or the truth of their own animalness and being part of the animal kingdom.
It always irks me to see an anti-evolutionist pointing to or making fun of a picture of an ape because, to them, being compared to great animals is some sort of smutty filth. I hate to think what kind of brutality they enact on cats and dogs around them, or even kids.
The idea that we’re part of the Animal kingdom, to me, is such a fascinating and great concept. I just do not get people who are insulted or “turned off” by that idea at all.
