Disputes over the relationship of lemurs to human beings
Line 1: Line 1: −
In biology, the term '''lemur''' applies to a variety of small [[primates]] found exclusively on the island of [[Madagascar]].  Lemurs are not mentioned in [[Christian]] [[Scripture]] but they are important supporting characters in the recent animated [[film]] [[Madagascar]].  It is uncertain whether the biology of the lemur has any political significance.

It is uncertain whether the biology of the lemur has any political significance.  [[Evolutionists]], who tend to support the [[Democrat]] party, have maintained that the lemur is closely related to [[man]], certainly closer than a ruminant [[mammal]] such as a [[yak]] or any type of [[bird]] or [[reptile]].  [[Creationists]], who overwhelmingly vote [[Republican]] are skeptical about the relationship, if any, of the lemur to man.  As of yet, the lemur has not appeared at the center of any [[American]] political controversy.
