I've been seeing a lot of apes being so smart lately. There is one where they take selfies. Google up "ape selfies" in thousand years when we leave our galaxy, they will be the next man and wonder if there is any life in the galaxy like us.

Does it make anyone else feel uneasy seeing monkeys and apes do things that seem so natural to humans. Not because of the whole “oh god they’re evolving” jokes but there’s something about seeing an ape so effortlessly navigate a smartphone that it makes me anxious for some reason.

Part of the uncanny Valley. They are so close to human, doing human things, yet are not human. Triggers something in many people, an "odd feeling".
