| − | 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. However, the lemur has not as of yet appeared at the center of any [[American]] political controversy.
