did humans really evolve from apes?

Question

If humans evolved from apes and humans have so many races, then why do the original apes not have the same race types !!

Answer 1

Sigh. Here we go again.


>>>>did humans really evolve from apes?

Yep, we evolved from apes and we are still apes. Humans are one of the 5 living species of great apes.

>>>>If humans evolved from apes and humans have so many races

Humans only have one race. There is no biological basis to racial categorisation. Any two chimpanzee tribes show far greater genetic variation than exists between an Eskimo and a Watusi, or between a Swede and a Phillipino.

>>> then why do the original apes not have the same race types !!

How do you know what racial types the original apes had?

Our immediate ape ancestor was Homo erectus. How do you know what races H. erectus had?

You quite clearly don’t have a clue about human evolution. Humans didn’t evolve from any species of LIVING ape. We evolved, via several intermediate species, from a common ancestor that we shared with the chimps. Even further back and with even more intermediate species we share a common ancestor with the gorilla and so forth.

We have no idea what if any races those intermediate species did or did not have.

Answer 2

we evolved from ape-like creatures who were also the ancestors of modern apes, we didnt evolve directly from modern apes or chimpanzees. sure evolution is a theory but im sure you dont dismiss other theories so easily (i.e einsteins theory of relativity, the theory of plate tectonics), most people accept these theories as fact.

It is also clear to me that most people posting answers dont know the true definition of the wordf theory in a scientific connotation. They think of it like hypothesis or a guess when it actually means something that is proven beyond a reasonable doubt and only one step below a scientific law.

Answer 3

Humans did not evolve from apes !
Humans were always Humans Apes have some similarities with us and that is all.
But Humans and Apes are two different species always have been and always will be !
And for those who still think we evolved from Apes, sometimes I wonder aren't they the ones who still act as if they are apes and are spreading AIDS ! Apes will be apes no matter what.
And they being less intelligent then us humans cant help their feeling. I wonder how did they learn to read and write ;-) ! LOL !
Take Care and God Bless !

Answer 4

We share a common ancestor with modern apes, according to the theory of evolution. Apparently, some of the ancestors stayed in the trees, and became apes, others moved onto the grass lands, and eventually became human. All the races evolved from Africans, as we spread out across the world.

Apes are not our ancestors, and they've evolved to suit their own environment. As to their not have races, I would suggest that as our own racial differences reflect our environmental differences, so do the apes'. However, humans exist all over the world, where as apes are focused across a few similar environments. That means there is less need for diversity in their environments, to ensure survival.

Answer 5

Not precisely no. Humans evolved from a species of primate known as Homo Erectus which evolved from Homo Habilis which evolved from Australopithicus like about one Million years ago. All this while other primates were evolving too, like chimpanzees and orangutans, but they are generally considered to be an older species than we are. Evolution is complex... so complex that most people would rather believe in a Creator than delve into the murky complexity of it all. It's really a shame too, because the study of evolution is far more fascinating than the Bible in my opinion.

Answer 6

God invented the world very simple: just raw substances and microorganisms. But He created it in such a way to evolve into the world that we know today, therefore we don't come from apes, we come from the pure love of God, we are his creation that started as a simple cell that evolved into us.

Answer 7

I personally believe in creation not evolution. I was created by God and did not evolve from a stupid ape!!!!

Answer 8

Hi,
You can get Broken Sword Return of the Templars for free from this link: http://bit.ly/1uaZTPK

it's a perfectly working link, no scam !
Despite being an unofficial version, Broken Sword: The Return of the Templars got enough notoriety among the fans of the series, to the extent that their legal creators gave their full support.

Answer 9

Nope; the body is dead matter without the soul, so it can't transform in another so different thing own it is own, since it is matter; but the soul can transmigrate from an ape body to a human body.

Answer 10

if we evolved from apes, why and when did we stop evolving? seeing as we've stayed 'human' for so long.......
