The next logical step

I was reading this article that said that scientists have discovered some chimps in Africa which are now using spears to hunt other animals. It seems to me that we aimed our huge dish antennas outwards looking for intelligent life forms in other galaxies, and overlooked the chance that some other species might evolve into so called intelligent creatures. I am not exactly sure on what came after what, but needless to say we can expect chimps to discover fire, invent the wheel and sliced bread in the coming years.

The UN will want to step in, and a new organization will be formed for helping the chimps evolve faster by giving them technology. The chimps will return the favour by flinging dung at the scientists.Pretty soon they would be up to speed and downloading primate porn off the internet.


The chimps will move into cities and merge with human societies. Its logical that they would want political representation. I predict that the first chimp political party and will win the popular vote, mainly from humans because let's face it, those chimps are darned cute...

They would also be subject to racial (what's the right word???) discrimination and we will have legislation which ensures equal opportunity for all chimps. Don't be surprised if you end up working with them. I am not.
