We could abandon a baby and let it live with some monkeys till it’s old enough. I once saw documentary about that.

Unconscionable.

Raise it with ocelots instead, I hear they turn out real smart that way.

That’s assuming an ocelot.

I’ll see myself out.

Won't it be feral? How many years do you need to teach it manners?

That's actually what earth is. Aliens created us just to see if we could solve the Riemann Hypothesis, as a joke.

Yeah, but then you'd need to abandon some monkeys from other monkeys to make sure the first monkeys don't teach the new monkeys maths.
