Wow...  I've never heard this song before.  I'm curious to know how many of
the listserv gang have heard it or learned it as youngsters.  Feel free to
reply off the listserv.

If anyone is curious why the aversion to human evolution persists in  
the United States, the answer is that the aversion is _taught_ to  
very young kids, in large scale.

If you haven't already listened to the children singing, "I'm no kin  
to a monkey", I strongly suggest you do:

The song could be a central feature in a great science exhibit, right  
next to an equivalent mocking of heliocentrism, perhaps.
