We always imagine that if humans had tails they'd be furry tails but they'd actually probably be hairless like our bodies (lemmy.world)

Sometimes our body tries to include traits of our ape ancestors.

But apes don't have tails.

However approximately 25mya the monkey and ape lines split so itust have come from at least that far back.

My bad, definitely speaking informally. Should have said primate ancestors.
