Human Zoo

Man Says: Humans Are on Display at London Zoo. Caged and barely clothed, eight men and women monkeyed around for the crowds Friday in an exhibit labeled "Humans" at the London Zoo . . . . Visitors stopped to point and laugh, and several children could be heard asking, "Why are there people in there?"

London Zoo spokeswoman Polly Wills says that's exactly the question the zoo wants to answer. "Seeing people in a different environment, among other animals . . . teaches members of the public that the human is just another primate," Wills said . . . . Tom Mahoney, 26, decided to participate after his friend sent him an e-mail about the contest as a joke. Anything that draws attention to apes, he said, has his support.

"A lot of people think humans are above other animals," he told The Associated Press. "When they see humans as animals, here, it kind of reminds us that we're not that special" (AP, Vinograd, 8/26/05).

God Says: "Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands" (Hebrews:2:7Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
See All...).
