What do you think the monkey/ape/common ancestor evolved from?
Last night I was talking to someone from yahoo answers on instant messenger and he asked me why do we evolutionists get mad over the use of the word monkey.
I don't think we should, our common ancestor with the apes would look like a monkey to the naked eye, and why argue over the use of the word.
I think one of the more common misconceptions is that of if man came from monkeys why are there still monkeys. This of course is answered with geographic isolationism. But a good follow up would be, where did the monkeys come from?
Someone on their 360 last night blogged about the failure of Evolution is the Darwin Tree of Life being innaccurrate, while I contend the success of science is the flexibity to update that tree.
In my life I've seen several versions.
So, my question, before they were monkeys, and they would appear as monkeys to the naked eye, what were our ancestors?
