Our Lost cousins primates of Uganda

Primates like chimpanzees, baboons monkeys are our cousins by all looks . As a ugandan have you visited any of national parks where your cousins stay. Remember if a vaccine is to be introduced to our human bodies , they are the ones who face the all the wrath of the medicine and its effects until if cannot affect them, then to humans. Is it not enough to give them a courtesy call! Visit#Kibale national park, #kyambura gorge in Queen Elizabeth park, #Budodongforest park and enjoy your stay with them.

Primates have over 90% genes of human kind. So these animals are close to us that other creatures on earth. However animal MAN  is finishing their habitats where they have stayed for all their life. We as humans beings should take note that once these primates are finished on earth then what has swallowed them wont fail to take us too. Assuming it is plague  where shall the medicine vaccine be tested to know that it will not affect human beings.
