ational Geographic TV broadcast two docu-
mentaries in April 2003 in its Europe edition.
Called ATale of Three Chimps and My Favorite
Monkey, these documentaries bore clear similar-
N ities in terms of the message they sought to
give. The consecutive broadcasting of these documentaries by
National Geographic TV, their subject matter, and their timing indi-
cated that deliberate evolutionist propaganda was going on. This
channel, which in March 2003 brought us the fairy tales of "the dog
that entered the sea and became a whale" and "the fish that left the
sea and grew legs" in its Great Transformations, this time offered us
another story and tried to inculcate the suggestion of the alleged
evolution of man.
The documentary "A Tale of Three Chimps" dealt with chim-
panzees working in a circus, and "My Favorite Monkey" was about
the tailed macaque. Throughout both of these films frequent exam-
ples were given of what appeared to be intelligent behavior in
monkeys, and the impression was given that since monkeys are so-
called close relatives of man, their intelligence is correspondingly
high. The aim of this article is to reveal the twisted Darwinist inter-
pretations given in both documentaries.
Claims That Chimpanzees and Man
are Brothers or Genetic Relatives are Untrue
Right at the beginning of the film there is talk of chimpanzees'
being a "brother species" to man and it was said that scientists real-
ized the similarities between the two species before their genetic
proximity was confirmed.
National Geographic TV's view of monkeys as a "brother
species" to man is nothing more than Darwinist prejudice and rests
on no scientific findings. There is absolutely no evidence to support
the claim that man and apes evolved from a common ancestor. In
