Nobody else seems to be very positive on this article, so I'll shoot: This article puts into words something that I've always intuitively felt, and very articulately as well. I think it particularly hits the nail on the head when it notes that "Thinking of ourselves as primates strikes a little too close to home. It’s like being told you look like your brother; nobody wants to hear it."

The only addendum I would make is that I feel there ought to be some place in this viewpoint for avians as well; I can't justify it on the basis of biological similarity, but it's something I feel all the same.
