We all laugh like apes…

Humans share lots of similarities with apes, including laughter I guess.

According to science:

Humans likely inherited their ability to laugh from apes, British researchers studying primate evolution said.

Laughter follows an evolutionary trail that could date back as far as 16 million years, said Marina Davila Ross, who led the study at the University of Portsmouth.

Laughter likely began as the “grunt-like” noises heard when gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans are tickled and evolved into the higher-pitched laughter heard in humans, Ross’ team reported in the journal of Current Biology.

Classic South Dakota UFO Sighting

Some deer hunters are involved with this story. Seeing mysterious lights in the sky while in the field early in the morning. Good times.

On November 19, 2007 while on a deer hunt in Lyman County, South Dakota, my son and I were sitting in the dark at approximately 6:30 a.m. waiting for first light.

I spotted a very bright white light that was moving across the sky and pointed it out to my son and asked him if he thought it could be a satellite or an airplane. We both agreed it was far too bright and too close to be a satellite or airplane.

This is an interesting UFO report. It would be a good situation to view a UFO while deer hunting because you are more than likely not near disruptive noise or cityscape. It would be easy to pick up on small sounds and see small details, especially when equipped with binoculars.

A UFO sighting report which takes place in Hazelton, South Dakota in August 2007.

Creepy:

I don’t know what that object was, but it gave the feeling that it was almost watching us, the way it would stop and hover out amongst the stars

And Kinda Funny:

My girlfriend and I were sitting out in the middle of my grandparents pasture to watch the meteor shower. Neither of us cared to see anything out of the ordinary, in fact this object kind of ruined my date I had planned out.
