chimpanzee attack

I went to the lincoln park zoo over break, and the monkey house really amazed me. as i was standing watching some of the chimapnzees peacefully sleep i overheard people saying how much the chimps looked like humans. i saw this too, not only did they look like humans it was amazing how they slept like humans too. they would lay on their sides, backs and stomachs just as humans do. i thought they were very peacefull and nice until i read a story about a chimp. on march 3, 2005 james davis was going to visit his monkey he had at an animal haven. he had this chimp for 39 years and was going to visit it for the chimps birthday. as he entered the haven he was greeted by two chimpanzees that has escaped and attacked him. the chimps completely mutilated the man. he lost his eye, all of his fingers, part of his nose, lips cheeks, butt, his foot was badly mutilated and so was his genitals. he survived but had serious injuries and had to have extensive surgery. i cant help but to think that those peaceful animals that everyone stares at at zoos could almost kill a man. i have heard other stories of monkeys attacking people and it amazes me. to think that we evolved from these animals and we are not that much different. we evolved from something that completely mutilated a human. i wonder what people would be like if we evolved from like sharks or bears.
