  1. If they never develop the mutations necessary to result in Neoteny, they likely never will. Neoteny is very rare, the retention of juvenile features into adulthood by the agency of slowed and lengthened growth periods. The other primates are not born with fontanels as we are, their large cranial capacities don't grow much after birth.


  2. they won't evolve because they'd be too busy typing "hamlet" and "the bible".

  3. thats a proof. the theory of evolution is flawed. monkeys dont turn human or vice versa

  4. a million cubits?

  5. Did want the answer in the traditional Roman form, or would you prefer the Babylonian cubit?

    j-r

    ((Peace Yo & Vish))

  6. No cubits needed.

    They'll evolve when they've successfully typed out:

    I HAVE EVOLVED!  AT LAST!

    :).


  7. that would be 42 days * the speed of light = 2.3794551 × 10^15 cubits

  8. I hope never were doing good to give jobs to people who only know how to type now.

  9. They'd sooner develop a new holy book.

  10. Where would you find a million typewriters these days?  

  11. When they can can finally type:

    lyk totaly, jonas bros r so hawt - c u @ lunch

  12. first all the typewriters would evolve into laptops, then the monkeys would evolve into us. so, 3.54979235985389543652197329 cubits.

  13. It'll go much faster if you give the monkeys caffeine. It speeds up the evolutionary process according to various cartoons I've seen.

  14. 453 cubits

  15. I don't know - sorry no answer in cubits (not very mathematically astute!)

    However, given that time frame with so many millions of monkeys  - eventually something would be typed that might  read relatively human.

    Law of averages - right?

    Starred your question - good one!

  16. They might just be the equivalent of what we have as writer's now. Then again... Who's to say?

  17. I don't know but give a Reptilian a keyboard and it doesn't take them long to discover childish behaviour  

  18. Why would they want to?

  19. All I know is that the answer is somewhere in the relation of butter and butterfly DNA.  

    (((TATWD)))

  20. It's so simple.

    30 cubits around

    10 cubits across

    and 5 cubits tall.

    Thus is the word of the Lord!

  21. SEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!


  22. 469.4342509 cubits
