Actually the group named themselves after what they called DE eVOlution. As
in going from civilized to primitive, as people tend to do when listening to
music.

The line "Are we not men?" comes from the story "The Island of Dr. Moreau"
by H.G. Wells, in which a mad scientist successfully hybridizes man and
animals. The creatures eventually band together and overthrow the doctor for
control of the island.

Are we not men? We are DEVO?

Ah! A mutant new-wave quintet from Akron, Ohio. Should have guessed.
Thanks
for furthering my education, though.

Are you saying if chimps were given the right to vote then the
elections
would have turned out differently and that Neanderthal Dubaya Bush
wouldn't
now be president and we wouldn't be facing the prospect of going to
war
with
Iraq for his daddy and all his rich republican buddies?

Are we not men? We are DEVO?

Based on this theory, man is very closely related to the
chimpanzee,
which
poses the ethical question of whether we treat chimps as animals
or
quasi-humans.
