The article humorously highlights a key distinction learned in an anthropology minor: monkeys have tails while apes do not. This simple rule serves as a memorable way to differentiate between the two groups of primates. The author encourages readers to remember this fact, especially when visiting a zoo, and reassures those with some anthropology background that they should find an entry-level exam easy to navigate, suggesting that the basics of the subject can be both fun and straightforward.
I minored in anthropology in college, and what I learned that stuck with me the most was how to tell a monkey from an ape, which is, of course, the tail.
"Monkey" has a tail at the end of the word, whereas "ape" doesn't. Try not thinking about that the next time you're at the zoo!
Even if you took one or two anthropology classes in college, I think you should do pretty well on this entry-level exam.
