Monkeys given infinite time would probably get carpal tunnel or form a labor union before typing out Shakespeare. (lemmy.world)

It does make you wonder what monkeys given infinite time (and somehow being coerced into using typewriters) would evolve into.

In pretty sure it would involve a hierarchy based on which monkeys are best at beating other monkeys to death with typewriters.

Counterpoint: The Bonobo monkeys developed a hierarchy based on their mastery of cunnilingus.
