to those who believe in evolution of man - if we evolved from ape, how is it that nothin evolved from us?

Question

its been ages and nothing evolved from us. Whats going on with your belief?

Answer 1

That's why evolution is so bull. Chinese history has been 6000-4000 years and NOTHING HAS CHANGED! We didn't grow a tail or an extra finger, nor lose any body parts. It's all Western propaganda trying to brainwash the rest of the world.

Answer 2

Evolution is a theory--— at least in the sense that Charles Darwin used it to say that humans “evolved” from ape-like creatures. But, its proponents behave as if they were there to see this happen and so, it’s cut-and-dried fact.


Some say creation is a theory too, at least in the sense that the Bible says that God made humans from His own likeness, without the aid of any “evolving” from lower forms of life?
Regardless, why can’t both THEORIES be presented openly and fairly with all their individual beauty marks and warts showing? Then, let each person exercise his or her own free will to decide what to believe or not to believe, that would seem the civilized thing to do.
The reason this can’t be done is that neither side of the issue will agree that both theories require a certain leap of faith. In other words, neither Evolutionism or Creationism can be proven as absolute fact … but both sides argue that their favorite can be.
Instead of doing the intelligent thing, which would be to agree to disagree agreeably, they choose to fight. And humanity as a whole and school students in particular suffer from this lack of common sense, logic and fair play.

It doesn’t have to be this way, though. Since there are superbly qualified scientists on both sides of this issue, why not just let each side present its best case?

Me personaly, I would rather believe I was created by a Higher Power, than to believe I evolved from apes.

Answer 3

For one thing humans are evolving all the time. For the other...contrary to your belief the earth isn't only 8000 years old or whatever. The earth is about 3.7 billion years old. Think about that number. It's big. It's a hell of a lot bigger than a few thousand years...humans do evolve, but evolution works by tiny mutations and natural selection which takes many many generations...no random leaps occur.

Answer 4

LOL ..

ok .. number one we DID NOT evolve from apes .. we evolved from earlier versions of humans ... while we were doing that the modern apes were evolving from earlier versions of themselves ....

and when you say "ages" I don't think you have a clue of the time involved .. this is a process that took place over many many MILLIONS of years. It is still going on today, at a slower pace for humans because we now control our enviornment and evolutionary adaption is less needed but still, were you to meet a person from just a few thousand years ago you would notice a difference in average heigth as well as numerous other subtle differences.

Answer 5

You might want to do some reading on your own BEFORE you post a question ! Books on evolution do NOT say we came from apes / monkeys. This is non-sense made up by Christians. The books will tell you there was a "common ancestor". These things take MILLIONS of years to happen. People fear evolution because they fear the unknown. Religion is a simple answer for things we don't know. Try also reading a book on "early man". Just go to the library and check out some books on these subjects. You're most likely get one sided opinions on this web page. Do some reading from real books and decide for yourself...

Answer 6

Where is your proof that nothing has evolved from humans?

Humans are still changing. The change has not been significant enough to indicate speciation yet.

One of the prime indicators of evolution is the change in capacity of the skull. Doctors who have examined skulls from the mid-14th century have found that growth of the cranial cavity has increased dramatically -- even over a few centuries.

From the link below, Dr Peter Rock says, "The increase is very considerable. For example, the vault height of the plague skulls were 80mm, and the modern ones were 95mm - that's in the order of 20% bigger, which is really rather a lot."

What's going on with your cranial capacity?

Answer 7

If you look at the height and structure of man just 100 years ago, you will see that we have somewhat evolved... Gotten taller, changed forms and figures... Most people can't handle their wisdom teeth any more because their mouths are too small, which didn't happen as often a couple hundread years ago as it does now....

And apes still exist for the same reason crockadiles do... That species has just surivived the years... Becaue they are good species...

I won't be suprised to see something start evolving from us within the next couple thousand of years... who knows what that would be...

Answer 8

Nope. Evoution is a very sloooooooow process. Humans have been on earth for less than a milllion years since they evolved from earlier primates. It's like trying to see the motion of the hour had of a wristwatch. You can't! But it is happening and very sloooowly. The human mind cannot fathom the idea of 1 million years or 1 billion years the time span in which evolution works.

Answer 9

Man is still young in comparison to the age of this planet. We still have A LOT of learning, living and loving to do before we can reach the state of evolution and become better. Until we learn from our mistakes and keep moving forward it won't happen. Evolution is not just genetics, I believe the mind is involved. So far, we just keep setting ourselves back years with all this fighting, racism, hate and violence. Maybe someday : ) our future will be better and we will have evolved into the great beings we were intended to be.

Answer 10

Nothing has evolved from us because the future has not happened yet. What kind of question is that? If you mean why are we not still evolving, obviously we are. A simple example: the average height of a person 500 years ago compared to now.

Answer 11

We have evolved from us. Modern man is substantially different than men from even 100,000 years ago. There were two subspecies of humans at that time. No-one really knows why Neanderthal died off, but the suspicion is that modern humans killed them.

We were in the process of evolving into several different species when agriculture was discovered and changed that. There are real genetic differences between humans native to more polar regions and those native to more equatorial regions - not enough to be different species, but measurable.
