1) clearly, r. zachery, you've never seen a chimp before. chimps don't have tails--apes in general don't have tails.
2) your daughter does have a nose like an ape. just because her nose isn't flat doesn't mean it's not the same basic structure.
3) the reason why our noses and mouths don't protrude far beyond our foreheads is that we have flat foreheads, no slope. it's because we have frontal lobes, a brain structure that controls emotion and higher thought--you know, all that stuff that makes us human.
3b) occasionally people ARE born with birth defects that result in protruding noses and mouths. not often, but it happens.
4) our bodies ARE full of hair. very short, fine hairs. sometimes the hair follicles are overactive and produce thick, long, dark coats of hair. it's a "switched off" gene that does sometimes get accidentally turned back on.
5) true, our arms don't come down to our feet. because we don't need them to. we're bipedal, we walk on two feet. apes CAN walk on two feet but often need the aid of their forelegs (arms) to go long distances. we don't. therefore we don't need long arms.
6) game over. you lose. insert quarter to play again.
