>>1035927Fossils are a pretty weird thing tho. For instance, the fossil record for gorillas is about 9 teeth, and a single jaw bone for chimps. Apes seem to leave a dramatically smaller biological footprint than other animals for whatever reason. I forget exactly what number it was, but it's something like one fossil for every 250,000 individuals for normal animals, so we're looking at a much bigger number for apes.
