If evolution is true does this mean that going to the zoo or aquarium means visiting your distant cousins?

Every living organism is genetically linked and related to every other organism that is alive, or has ever lived.

It’s a 3-dimensional web of devastating complexity and stunning beauty

@Bushranger Actually, the thought crossed my mind as I wrote that, and I shied away from introducing spacetime into it... but yes, you’re correct (of course)

@newjaninev2 So that means I’m related to those who live in Tennessee?

@Laffytaffy Yup, everyone and everything containing DNA

Yes -- and there are even times when you can't be sure just which side of the bars some of the humans should be.

@ChipmunkErnie So very true!

{@laffytaffy] 🤔 well maybe more to the zoo as the apes are supposedly where we evolved from

@newjaninev2 🤷‍♂️ if you want to start to be political correct fair enough whatever . this comment is meant to be humour and not to be taken literally nothing more

@smiler2012 I’m not being ‘politically correct”... I’m being factually correct

Depends on which exhibit you visit. Some folks find their relatives among the monkeys, some folks find their relatives among the rats.😆

Seriously, though, yes. All life is related, we all evolved from a common ancestor, so yes.

I think "cousin" loses meaning by that point, but maybe yes.

@SW-User you can’t be that uninformed.
