This isn't a dumb question, because the people asking it have been told repeatedly that evolution tells us humans came from apes.

It's the original teaching that we evolved from apes that was dumb, probably something they heard in highschool or church. The people asking this question are under the influence of a common misconception, and are asking exactly the question they need to ask to have that misconception dispelled.

A question which, when answered, dispels your misconceptions, can hardly be called dumb.

I remember my tandem jump, the video said that they cannot be sued even for gross negligence, and that this had been tested in court. I always wondered how true that was.

I jumped in Canada but the video was based in US law and meant for US audiences.
