In what sense is the ape nature still with you?

Well, I cannot rid myself of knuckle walking, nor can I find enough consistent balance to claim that I have two feet and two hands. I am still teetering as a quadruped. My fingers are not in my full command, the anatomy of my thumb seems inflexible. I do maintain as a whole, the skeleton of an ape. My past exists in my skeleton. I have merely adapted many human behaviors and have developed the organ which already existed in my skull. As for the lack of hair, it still wants to come out, but every morning I shave. At night, I dream.......
But as I have clearly demonstrated, my ape nature, that is the wilderness of the jungle is has been successfully eliminated. How else could I be here with you fine people, discussing such fine things, over such fine wines? By the way did I mention that I shared many bottles of such finery with the very leader of the hunting expedition that shot and captured me?
It is from him, his name is Shultz, that I have pieced together the timeline which led up to my own first memory!
