Mating Call: Chimpoid, I wish I could quite you!

Scientists are obsessed with evolution! And they are getting closer and closer to finding our missing link.

According to a team of geneticists and biostatisticians from the Broad Institute of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, our human ancestors split from chimpanzee ancestors about 6.5 million years ago. However, that didn't stop our ancestors from doing it like thy do it on the Discovery Channel. Oh, no!

It seems that the chimpoids could lay it down real good and the humanoids kept coming back to get their freak on. It may even be plausible that we are descendents from a chimpoid/humanoid hybrid.
