[Taxacom] orangutan theory on the Daily Show

[John Grehan]

For those of you who have nothing better to do, have a look at the
orangutan segment by John Oliver at the following link:

For those of you outside the US influence, this is a comedy show that
usually parodies topics and for that reason I did not risk
participating. But Schwartz did, and I think he survived fairly well. It
seems the interviewer was more interested in the face to face mating in
humans and orangutans than anything else. The segment also includes an
interview with Todd Disotell, a molecular systematists who managed to
say that the orangutan theory is wrong, and that if it were right we
would have to re-write the textbooks. Heaven forbid.
