"We are genetically closer to pigs than apes So when they say stop "monkeying around " or stop "making a pig of yourself", we should take them more seriously"
Perhaps insight is gained by comparing general human behaviour to various specific animal behaviours.
Strangely but inevitably, animal behaviour comes out as more authentic, though not always more desirable.
Animals do what they are told (by Nature) and are completely authentic.
Perhaps Humans have wider choices.
For example is there more to life than "what's for lunch !" ??
