Depends on your view of the human race...:-) If we are all apes then I guess you're right. If you have belief in us as more than apes then you might consider what happens if the new ape gets to talk to the older apes first. If you've been in the 'older ape' situation and nobody wants to talk to you then OK, I admit you have a point...:-)
Me, I put people who don't want to talk to me into the 'younger apes' category irrespective of calendar age. But I'm atill prepared to listen (just in case they know something I don't).
