Nothing new here. As a father of seven and frequent zoo visitor, Eric Scheske has noticed for years that zoos have a naked political agenda of the outdated Malthusian/ Darwinian stripe.

> Caged and barely clothed, eight men and women monkeyed around for the crowds Friday in an exhibit labeled "Humans" at the London Zoo.

> "Warning: Humans in their Natural Environment" read the sign at the entrance to the exhibit, where the captives could be seen on a rock ledge in a bear enclosure, clad in bathing suits and pinned-on fig leaves. Some played with hula hoops, some waved.

> Visitors stopped to point and laugh, and several children could be heard asking, "Why are there people in there?"

> London Zoo spokeswoman Polly Wills says that's exactly the question the zoo wants to answer.

> "Seeing people in a different environment, among other animals ... teaches members of the public that the human is just another primate," Wills said.
