Well, that one Basque did...I'm barely confident speaking for myself so who knows about a whole group of folks.

Yeah, the raw food thing, I don't know how people do it. In addition to your theory of no peelers/elec/gas I offer up Schwarzenegger-quality jaw muscles and stomachs of steel.

I'm vegan and I assure you we won't rest until every last living plant on earth is a soy bean :)  <----that thing means world destruction makes me happy.

No cow wants some talking monkey fondling its nipples. No talking monkey should desire the mammary secretions of a bovine (even though they are heavenly). No rational talking monkey should attempt to reply to steemit comments on a deficit of sleep...this space cadet is signing off....goodnight, need ZZZZzzzzzz

FYI Monkeys don't have opposable thumbs. Just trying to imagine the milking..... Now you mention it,  yes, this is one of those wake-up moments: I think that's why we were given opposable thumbs!! To milk cows.

Ahh, to the contrary! Most primates do have opposable thumbs, in fact many have two pairs of opposable thumbs (hands and feet) making them veritable milking machines compared to their talking (human) monkey counterparts!

Interesting news to me. Thank you for this little zoology lesson! Just couldn't imagine chimps unscrewing bottles, uncorking wine, or cutting out a newspaper article.
