Cinder is a hairless chimp that lives at the St. Louis Zoo. She wasn't always like this. She started losing hair when she was about 5 month old, being diagnosed with an autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere on the body.

Can a 90-lb. chimp clobber a full-grown man?

Read this article (1976) about the fantastic strength of the chimpanzee.

"In tests at the Bronx Zoo in 1924, a dynamometer — a scale that measures the mechanical force of a pull on a spring — was erected in the monkey house. A 165-pound male chimpanzee named "Boma" registered a pull of 847 pounds, using only his right hand (although he did have his feet braced against the wall, being somewhat hip, in his simian way, to the principles of leverage). A 165-pound man, by comparison, could manage a one-handed pull of about 210 pounds."

She looks cute. We might have the same creator :). As a christian I have no problems with evolution, only with randomness.
