Hi All,

Teaching evolution to K-3 kids would be a whole lot easier if Curious  
George had an episode on chimpanzee (or monkey?!) origins, with  
corresponding Teacher Guide on the web site.  Because it's not really  
clear what kind of primate George is, this is an extra pressing  
question for educators to address.  If anyone would be willing to  
help lobby the producers for this, I have details at:

Ideally, the Teacher Guide would reference local zoos and museums  
that had exhibits on primate evolution.

Thanks for any help.
