Face full of fuzzball

Recently, I saw a picture of a primate - not sure which kind - holding a kitten, and something came over me. It reminded me of a question posited by my college psychology professor: we had been watching a video of apes interacting. At one point, and infant ape was acting silly which caused the class to giggle. After we finished watching the video, our professor asked us what was so funny to which one person replied something on the lines of "it looked like something a kid would do".

That is when my prof asked us: "is it funny because we see human actions in the ape infant, or do we see ape actions in ourselves?"

When I saw the picture of the primate, holding on to the kitten for comfort as I usually do with my kittens, I felt a connection to all other primates as I had never before.

The picture was on my mind for some time after, and it may stay with me for a while to come.
