Comment:
"Man" is a bit outmoded these days.
But while "man" can refer to people as a category, "Man" is still a small group within a large group called "apes". Sort of like "Fords" are a small group within a large group called "cars".
It IS possible to be both you know.
Dr.K's response:
So suppose we have cars and high speed trains. The apes are cars and humans are high speed trains.
A high speed train is not a car.
It'd be a good metaphor if humans were that much different from other apes - which we're not. I don't ever mistake a Jetta on the street as a high speed train. Do you?
