MonkeyGate: the latest scandal after RoundEarthGate & ClimateGate

[A Follower]

MonkeyGate

Scientists believe monkeys are similar to humans, but are they right?

Do animals think? For many years, each time the media wanted insights into this most intriguing of questions, Marc Hauser was the scientist of choice. His Harvard University lab produced a string of intriguing papers suggesting that monkeys have uncannily human-like mental capacities, and Hauser was always ready with an eloquent explanation.

In a devastating blow to secular science, shortly after the ClimateGate scandal showed that scientists forge their data, use peer review to silence critics and photoshop hockeysticks into their graphs, a second hoax is unearthed: all research into monkey behavior is false, the results made up and as usual the scientists refuse to reveal what research has been proven to be false.

Now that work lies under a cloud, after the Boston Globe broke the news that Harvard has conducted a three-year misconduct investigation into work carried out in Hauser's laboratory.

The cover up is admitted to by the Harvard University, but extenuated in an attempt to protect the guilty.

questions are swirling around the rest of Hauser's work, and Harvard is refusing to comment.

Even though scientists allege all the papers that have now been proven a scam were peer reviewed it is clear that peer review included neither verifying data, nor duplicating the experiments.

Now that it has been proven that monkeys aren't like humans, can we please get rid of the ridiculous idea that monkeys are our forefathers? We are not monkeys!

Although I agree that animals can think, that doesn't make them human in any way. I'm not sure what this Harvard elitest was trying to prove, but just because my dog has figured out how to open the screen door does not mean he's as intelligent as a human, well maybe as intelligent as a liebral.
