No Sweat

A few animals have limited ability to prevent a rise in body temperature by evaporative cooling through sweat secretion. Since evolutionists insist that monkeys and men are closely related, surely they exhibit similar sweat-cooling characteristics, right? The monkey has virtually no ability to cool itself with sweat. Other animals? Cats have a slight ability; dogs greater but still slight. Horses have more ability to sweat, though their sweating is tied to exertion rather than body temperature. Only humans use sweat glands to such an extent to cool off.

Sweat glands are incredibly complex, and if they are the products of evolution, then no doubt the ability to sweat must be indicative of how closely species are related to each other. So horses are our nearest relatives, not monkeys. I'm sure he would agree. And he would tell you about it until his voice became hoarse.
