Climate change wiped out the apes of ancient Europe

"Great apes were wiped out in ancient Europe when their environment changed drastically some nine million years ago, scientists say.

Researchers say changes in Europe's climate and environment at the time replaced many forests with grasslands - and great apes with monkeys."

Bush, Cheney, SUV's and BP, I'd wager...
