Monkeys are a lot like us. We may have less hair, speak more complicated languages, use more intricate tools, engage in more destructive wars, and wreak more havoc on our natural environment, but at the end of the day we are more like them than not. Monkeys have been holding up a mirror to human nature for as long as they’ve frolicked in the forests and we’ve screwed those same forests up. Understandably, monkeys have always been popular figures in memes: not only are they adorable, but they seem to offer a simpler way of life, calling us back to our roots.
