If we all evolved from apes, why are we different colors?

Answer 1

because there are different kinds of apes.

Answer 2

We are not from apes we are from humans.If we came from apes they should be evolved.We come from 3 races caucasoid,mongoloid and *******.Caucasoids are people from europe and other parts of the world an example Ireland.Caucasoids cannot be apes There noses are narrow,Caucasoids have straight profiles apes have prognathism.Mongoloids are people from Asia an example China.Look at an Asian persons skin color its a yellowish to light shades of brown while most white people are pinkish-white.Negroids cannot evolved from apes.Apes are hairy while negroids have sparse body hair.And the total of this,we cannot have come from apes if they havent evoled in any of these forms.If they were evolved there wouldnt be any apes.

Answer 3

I hate to burst every Darwin-enthusiasts bubble but this Theory of Evolution and the "survival of the fittest" you speak of does not exist. It's a mere "theory", just a silly guess from some non-God-fearing fool.

Why would we, the best of all creations on this Earth, evolve from such smelly apes? God would not do such a thing to us. In the religion that I follow, it is believed that as a punishment from God, a very bad tribespeople were all turned into apes for their rejection of the on true God. Not the other way around....

Answer 4

Um, I think you have fallen prey to a common misconception of evolution. Darwin never said that men evolved from apes but that men and apes might share a common ancestor. There is a big difference.

Evolution theories are complex but worth studying and understanding. Get your information from the source.

Answer 5

I don't know the answer but what a good question. Here's another one. If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Answer 6

You answered your own question, within your question. Evolution!! Evolving people evolved because of necessity & that included different colors, because of physical relation to the equator & sun, diff melatonin produces increased or decreased protection to the sun.

"Journey of Man" on PBS has probably the best explanation of evolution, from apes to the first humans in Africa, good to watch.

Answer 7

This is a common misconception, human and apes ha d a common ancestor. The prof is DNA. DNA does not lie. Color evolved as a result of natural selections. First humans evolved in Africa. Then they began spreading around the world. In Northern territories there is less sunshine, thus skin will absorb less vitamin D. In the Northern territories humans with lighter skin survived, because light skin absorbs more vitamin D, which essential to all humans. In Africa humans have dark skin, because there is plenty of sunshine and plenty of sunshine and humans with dark skin are less likely to get a sunburn. As human spread around the world, they adapted to their environment. Individuals with lighter skin survived in the north and were able to produce more light skinned off-springs.

Answer 8

we all evolved from apes but body difference can be attributed to climate difference. some places is too cold which affect the Mulligan layer of the skin, making white in complexion. some places is too hot causing skin burnt, making the body look back in complexion. so over a long period of time we as man adapted to these color in difference.

Answer 9

We evolved from something primitive and ape like. We didn't all evolve from the same exact species.

RE: Zavreena


'Charles Darwin in his death-bed said that his theory was false" Is a Christian fairy tale. Check your research, His daughter, who was there, claims this to be false.

Answer 10

It's the whole Vitamin D thing. Humans started out darker in Africa to prevent having too much Vitamin D, which does damage like cancer and such. But when humans migrated away and up north, they could not absorb the Vitamin D needed. So mutations occurred as part of natural selection with the result of humans getting lighter.

If this helps you to see this with more open eyes, I am a Christian, and I believe Adam and Eve were in Africa to begin with, but through time humans changed a lot. We have the scientific proof to back up the humans changing over time part, so it can not be argued against expect by ignotant people who refuse to see it.

Answer 11

Not so! Apes are still apes, we have been here since our creation and we are we! with the essence of God in us, that makes us ,thinking , amd choosing people. The Darwin THEORY is just that, a theory!. What do we know about this Darwin and his observations on turtles and reptiles to accept this banana rethoric? Everything in nature is according to its genes in its creation. Apes are apes and Humans are Humans. Period. What we have in common with all life on Earth is the Spirit of creation. Just look around and marvel at such beautyin our Earth and heavens, and stars, oceans and man itself, the sublime creation who has ferre will and therefore free to choose! When I look up to those stars I see in Florida at night inside me there is infinite joy and sadness for such majestic beauty!
