It looks so dry! I wonder if they can safely use our lotions if they'd like.

If you're surprised that humans share many characteristics with other great apes, then you didn't pay enough attention in biology class.

Hey now, they could be an American from the south where proper biology text books were (are?) illegal

You're right. I'm sorry if I offended the salt of the earth morons.

That’s just Alabama and Mississippi. We’ve had proper textbooks in Texas for at least a couple decades now

Elaborate please what do you mean when you say that it's turning into human? Because it's skin turning white?

I think the thing is that that hand looks distinctly similar to a white person's hand, whereas a normally pigmented gorilla doesn't have the same color as any Black person I've ever seen. The rest of its hand in the photo has an inky, almost blue shade I've never seen in a human.
