Development of communication

 At the beginning, communication was very poor.

- The monkey had just hunted a deer, brought it to his cave and was now looking for a female to share it with as a kind of wedding gift.
Suddenly something moved behind the bushes near the fountain, so he took his spear and sneaked up there without making a noise. Having come near enough he parted some leaves and prepared to throw his weapon at whatever had come near to his cave. However, what he saw delighted him very much. It was a female without weapons. That was what he was looking for. She was feasting on the refreshing water and had forgotten the world around her. Probably, she was very thirsty. Water was rare in this region. Very carefully, he crept nearer and when he was behind her hit her on the head with his club. Of course, he paid attention not to kill her. Then, he grabbed her by the hair and dragged her into his cave. When she regained consciousness, he invited her to eat.

Some thousand years later, a kind of development could be observed.

- A monkey with two thick sticks stood next to a hollow tree trunk and used it as a kind of drum. The message was still very simple: “Tam-taram-tam-taram-taram-tam!” which meant something like “Here is a male with food and cave!” It was not without danger to send such a message into the night because it attracted not only females but as well other males who wanted to take possession of his goods.

At the time when monkeys formed groups to hunt together, face mimic and body language appeared.

- Monkeys dancing around the fire did not only try to appease the spirits of the animal to hunt but as well to show who would win the right to the few females in the group.

Showing wealth became an important aspect.

- “I have three hundred cows and many servants,” shouted the monkey, “therefore, I have the means of buying and feeding fifty females,” and there were many fathers happily selling him one or two of their daughters. Not only because they needed the cows more than their daughters but as well (at least, the author hopes so) because their daughters wouldn’t suffer from hunger.

The appearance of religion rendered life more difficult.

- “You are now married in front of the father, the son and the holy spirit! The wife shall always serve her husband!” This principle was very easy to understand; it gave absolute right to males over females and remained like that for a very long time.
And it seems that males’ brain has still not been able to comprehend that enlargement of rights for females also means more rights for all other small people.

The reward for the winner

- During a tournament in the middle ages, every knight chose a female on the grandstand, lowered his lance and the chosen lady tied her silk handkerchief to the weapon. He was going to fight in her colours and in case of winning, got her as a reward that night.

Odour does not only matter in the world of animals

- Some Muslim females were making their way to the market. Suddenly, one of them stood still and put her nose up in the air. “There is a very bad smell filling the street,” she announced, “a Christian monkey must be approaching.” Some seconds later, he came around the corner and the Muslim females dispersed in every direction. “I don’t understand why these pagans always run away when I come. My soul is clean; therefore, I don’t have to wash myself, not like those Muslims who wash five times a day before they pray to their worthless god. My god, his son and the holy spirit are the only right ones.”

Imitating birds

- When sheer strength was not enough to conquer a female, the monkey sang under the balcony of his beloved and she dropped a rose down to him. How beautiful ballads were written at that time!

Cyrano de Bergerac

- The ugly monkey wrote his beloved wonderful verses and for the first time, the female had the feeling that she was not just the decoration of a handsome male because the lyrics was addressed only to her.

First step of technics

- “Hey, babe! I’m on the way to you,” he told her on the mobile phone while sitting in his expensive car.

The future

- A monkey on Mars chatting with his beloved on Venus via cosmos net.
