To sum up my opininion regarding the species of the Ducks: (apes <-> humans) = (ducks <-> Ducks) The Ducks are obviously NOT humans - and neither are they ducks. And why would Barks have chosen to show them as ducks if the really were humans? If everything else Barks shows is supposed to be 100% correct (an opinion I do not share): why distrust him here? Cord
