In a recent study at Harvard University a shocking discovery has emerged. It turns out that only 30% of us can flare our nostrils. What is even more shocking is that in primates almost 50% have this ability. Top scientists from around the world are flocking to the U.S. to try and refute this evidence. Dr. Nosenstein was the first to publicize the findings and the response was not favorable. "We had thousands of calls and people are outraged" said Nosenstein.
"We decided to invite anyone who was willing so we could show them the results as well as to conduct a few experiments. We had 723 people arrive and as it turns out only 216 of them could flare their nostrils (about 30%). To solidify our findings we took 20 random participants to 14 different zoo's and with a simple command were able to have 17 of the 36 apes tested flare their nostrils."
The impact of this finding may lead to a whole new theory on evolution. Did humans actually de-evolve from apes and humans are a weaker species?
Whatever the findings most scientist conclude that if the wrong sort of monkeys find out about this study there could be a huge uproar from the primate community. There are many organizations out there that would love to have the apes recognized this way, but without the correct documentation there is no hard proof and the apes would simply go about their daily lives as normal. Although many now are recommending that families stock up on bananas...just to be safe.
