@rosborne979,
That could be expressed in reverse and be on target:
Why aren't we so different from them in basic instincts -- how slow is evolution? Obviously, painfully slow. While we congratulate ourselves for technological advances, we haven't basically haven't separated ourselves very much from our most primitive ancestors. We have made a technological advance in weaponry so we can more efficiently do away with animals and, unfortunately, ourselves.
Of course, today it's more refined as "the dinner date."
I forgot who recently quipped (might have been Wanda Sykes on Jay Leno) that the sex should come before the dinner date so both parties could determine whether it was worth the price of the restaurant.
