Its entirely possible as there was intelligent life on earth before man seperated itself from the ape evolution. The apes could think and reason things out when mankind could not. Something happened to where it was reversed.....man replaced the ape in the intelligence process, and was deemed lower than man. Can I get an Amen on this?

In the end, mankind will destroy itself, as you well know! It will then reverse itself back to the apes because man is the devil's pawn, he will destroy mankind to prove a point.

Because of the recent war-mongering and violence, I often question the intelligence of our species, however, according to evolutionary theory man and apes evolved from a common ancestor.

Actually, you all have it a bit wrong, sorry.
If what I've read of _Scientific American_ and _Science News_ about the archeological evidence is accurate at all, both humans and chimpanzees, the closest genetic relative, evolved and separated from a single common ancestor some six million years ago--all bleatings from the Bible-thumping Delusionoids to the contrary, this is for *grown ups* who believe in PHYSICAL EVIDENCE NOT FAIRY TALES DAMMIT!!
**ahem**, sorry about that, where was I?
Oh yeah, humans and chimps....we both evolved, split off, went our separate ways from the common ancestor, _Australopithecus_ or some such, about six million years ago.
Sad, creepy part was, the original poster did have a point: evidence suggests that for the first three million or so years of all this "separation" that prototype chimps and prototype humanoids were close enough in intellect, appearance and DNA that, well, some cross-breeding did take place. Not that it amounted to much, most cross-species hybrids don't....
But it might explain the religious freaks and the fairly hard limits they willfully put on their capacity for reason (hey! if you hate science so much, stop using the internet, electricity or automobiles, ok? all three of these are gifts of *science* not Gawd, ok?). :D
Just saying.

Man was never an ape and apes were never human. Man is created as a human, the lessor animals are just that. No separation from a lesser idea to a grander one. SO...no Amen brother.

My dear, you have it all wrong. Man evolved from apes and branched off from them. They it was a step-by-step process. Everything was a gradual process.

Sounds like an interesting sci-fi novel...actually read "Hominids" by Robert Sawyer....

It could be said that Neanderthals were culturally more advanced than Homo Sapiens, but Homo Sapiens wiped them out with superior violence.

actually, man came from reptiles, silly, like snakes and alligators. apes were too hairy, and had fleas.
