is true that we were all monkeys and baboons?

Question

if yes then how comes we still have monkeys wat did they do that they wouldnt become human beings wat did they do rong to deserve it?

Answer 1

U do know monkeys throw $hit and baboons eat it.
I remember a man who told another to eat $hit and bark at the moon. Maybe you need to include a dog.

Answer 2

It is NOT true that we were once all monkeys and baboons. It IS true that if you go far enough back in time, that humans, monkeys, and baboons all shared a common ancestor. That ancestor's offspring gradually became more and more different (through environmental pressures, random chance, etc.) until they could no longer have offspring together that could reproduce. This means they are now separate species. Continue this process for thousands upon thousands of years, and eventually you will end up with 2 species that may have some similarities, but also are very different.

One important distinction to make is that humans didn't evolve "better" than monkeys or baboons. We all just evolved differently. Monkeys and baboons are around because they are superbly adapted to their environment. If they weren't, they would have become extinct because some other species would have out-competed them for the resources they need to stay alive. The same can be said of humans. Unfortunately, it is part of the culture that we live in today to think that the human species is the pinnacle of evolution when in fact evolution is an on-going and continuous process.

Answer 3

No, we bear no relation monkeys or any other primates for that matter.
The Human Race was bread as an experimental slave race by extraterrestrials around 7000 years ago.
This is the reason we are 'Technologically advanced', but still can't get past the primitive instinct to kill each other.
That's 'their' way of keeping a spiraling population under some kind of control.

Answer 4

No...we have common ancestor.

Chimps, Humans 96 Percent the Same, Gene Study Finds

August 31, 2005
Scientists have sequenced the genome of the chimpanzee and found that humans are 96 percent similar to the great ape species.

"Darwin wasn't just provocative in saying that we descend from the apes—he didn't go far enough," said Frans de Waal, a primate scientist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. "We are apes in every way, from our long arms and tailless bodies to our habits and temperament."

Because chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, the chimp genome is the most useful key to understanding human biology and evolution, next to the human genome itself. The breakthrough will aid scientists in their mission to learn what sets us apart from other animals.

By comparing human and chimpanzee genomes, the researchers have identified several sequences of genetic code that differ between human and chimp. These sequences may hold the most promise for determining what creates human-specific traits such as speech.

Answer 5

No, no human has been born a monkey or a baboon. Though I admit some humans act like or worse than monkeys or baboons.

Answer 6

I do not fling feces at people that I dont like. I do not eat things that I have found in other peoples hair. I do not drink my own urine (although I would filter it and boil it and then drink it if it were a matter of life and death)
I am not particularly hairy. and my mouth does not take up most of my face.... although I do know that some people might beg to differ on that point. so what if we're both mammals and have opposable thumbs?
Fish have eyeballs and live in the water, I have eyeballs and I enjoy hot tubs. does that make me a fish too? No Gills!

Answer 7

None of us were monkeys or baboons, but according to the theory of evolution, monkeys and baboons are our distant cousins. Sort of like cats and tigers are distant cousins. Monkeys have adapted to their environment well, but didn't become as flexible in adapting as we did.

Answer 8

Well was it true that the world was going to end on June 6th 2006? The world is wrong about a lot of things, us being monkeys is one of them.

Answer 9

You are a creator that God has made. You may act like a monkey or a baboon but ,you're not.

Answer 10

We are all of one race, but God sent Cain to the land of Nod and there he knew his wife, but if God had bleesed Eve with a third seed named Seth and Adam is the Father then who was Cains wife is the missing link. Thats where it gets sticky and I wont' comment any further. These scriptures are found in the book of Genesis King James version of the Bible.
