Category talk:Primates

Don't even think of categorizing human beings here. That is a matter which must be discussed and agreed upon first. --Ed Poor 14:27, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Won't discussions increase your chances of being permablocked under the new rule, Ed. RDre 14:30, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

<chuckle> I'll just have to take that chance. --Ed Poor 14:32, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

umm, that already happened when homo sapiens was included. Flippin 14:28, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Human beings clearly are primates. As God made them. --Jeremiah4-22 14:31, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

I don't like the tone of the term "primate" as it relates to the Theory of evolution. Isn't it used dismissively, to imply that people are only animals? --Ed Poor 14:33, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

It is hardly used dismissively by the Catholic Church, where Primates are highly respected churchmen. --Jeremiah4-22 14:36, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

We're both primates and animals, by definition. And what do you mean 'only?' Tsumetai 14:42, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Are we a vegetable? RDre 14:34, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Perhaps that is a reference to the children's game, Twenty Questions. "Animal, vegetable, or mineral?" --Ed Poor 14:37, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Exactly. I don't understand what you mean by "only animals". RDre 14:40, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
