...that evolution means that we evolved from monkeys? That's completely false. Once upon a time there was a primitive primate. It was NOT a monkey, or human, or any type of recognizable ape that exists in the modern world. In fact our common ancestor has long been extinct, and this is what we must understand. Monkeys and Apes are still here, because they appeared at the same time as us. They are our cousins, and this common ancestor is now long dead. My cousins and I are all directly descended from my grandmother. But, you will realize, neither me or my cousins are descended from the other - the chain only goes back through history, not weaving through the present.
Short explanation: we didn't come from monkeys. Monkeys shared an ancestor with humans.
