River Ape Stories - Goodbye Chimpanzillas

1 ~ Goodbye Chimpmanzillas

Stories of our ancestors between 7 and 5ź million years ago.

This first story in The River Ape series "Goodbye Chimpmanzillas" takes you back seven million years to the Red Sea coast of East Africa. Living there was a tribe of apes that inhabited a strange world of mangrove swamps: The Chimpmanzillas, the last comman ancestor of all the chimps, humans and gorillas. They had been living in such places already for millions of years and were as comfortable in the trees as they were in water. Many times a day, you'd find them swinging down from the branches of one tree, wading across a stretch of water (bipedally) and then climbing up another tree. This story describes how some of them began to leave the swamps apes and migrate up rivers, where they became experts at catching catfish. These apes would become the river apes. These events would ultimately bear the fruit of humanity itself.
