Chimpanzee Evolves Past the British

They’re evolving faster than the British

A chimpanzee in a zoo enclosure repeatedly opens its mouth and licks or sucks a blue object while the caption claims, “They’re evolving faster than the British.” The joke absurdly portrays the chimp as evolutionarily surpassing British people, with the polished, whimsical instrumental music “The Great British Bake Off” by Tom Howe making the animal’s mundane action feel like a dramatic British cultural achievement.
