Here, here!!!
Besides if Mr. Hostetter actually knew anything about human evolution, he would know that it has nothing to do humans being descended from animals but rather that humans have evolved through natural selection from other related species of animal. In fact, we are animals according to our scientific classification. In addition, not only are his comments derogatory towards a whole field of science it shows supreme arrogance to equate animal behavior with immorality. Humans are the only species in the history of this planet to purposely kill large numbers of itself. Mass murder is uniquely human... --end rant mode--
