If we descend from the monkey how come they don't talk, but some birds do?

Answer 1

Talk is a form of verbal communication. Although we humans have the most advanced language skills of any creature on earth, many other animals communicate with a language of their own. Whales, dolphins, elephants, apes, and yes, even some monkeys are among the many animals that use voice or sound to 'talk' in their own way.

And when birds, some of the most vocal of creatures, talk to one another, they don't mimic human sounds.

Answer 2

In the first place oh uninfomed one, Darwin didn't say we descended from the apes but that humans and monkeys descended from the same ancestor. Second parrots don't talk they only imitate what they hear, like Mocking Birds imitate what they hear.

Answer 3

Birds don't talk they mimic. We were not descended from monkees. Humans and modern apes, not monkees, have a common ancestor.
That ancestor had a common ancestor with monkees, lemurs and other lower primates.

Answer 4

We did NOT come from monkeys. That is a common misconception. Man and ape had a common ancestor way back. Man evolved in one direction and apes in another.

Answer 5

Because we DON"T descend from the monkey! God created us!

Answer 6

It would take too long to answer this question - read up on biology and evolution.

Answer 7
