if humans evolved from apes, why are ther still apes?

Answer 1

if Christians came from Jews, why are ther still Jews?

Answer 2

Imagine a single ape or just a few apes who experienced a particular DNA mutation. Most of the apes will remain the same, but those particular few could mate with mutant or non-mutant apes and create more mutant apes. Imagine that the mutation was the first step in the long evolutionary process that created humans. Some original apes would not mate with mutant apes, ensuring the procreation of the true ape species.

Answer 3

This is an EASY answer. Humans evolved from PRIMITIVE apes, ones which do not look like the MODERN apes that are around today. Modern apes are our "cousins", not our ancestors. So many creationists try to use your question to say evolution doesn't make sense. It does!

Answer 4

Because the history of life on earth isn't a straight line, it is a branching bush. Populations of the same species get split (eg. by a change in the environment). Then they two populations evolve separately and, if they survive, become different species. This process is abundantly observed among living populations.

So the apes alive today are our 'cousins'. We had common ancestors, millions of years ago.

Answer 5

Exactly. This "evolution" theory doesn't make sense. Every organism is equally complex as the other, so we cannot assume that there are "primitive" and "modern" types of an animal. And if we did evolve from apes, there would not be any other apes on this planet today. But there are, so that is an unreasonable conclusion.

Answer 6

Good catch. I'll tell you why... there's no such thing as evolution. The following points refute evolution... these arene't the only ones:
(The following is one of MY answers):


1.) Darwin verse Bible

Darwin - "All the species in the world descended from 4 or 5 ancestors in to whcih life was breathesd" So does that mean there was only 8 or 10 animals on Noahs large, large, LARGE, boat???? (two of each?)

2.) Vestigial Organs - (Darwin!!! Can't you just keep things simple?!)
Vestigial organs, according to Darwin, are organs that loose their function over time. So if animals and plants have vestigial organs, there would be NO life on Earh!!! But that's not true! (there is life on earth) This is due to a logical principle called IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY - the principle states that if one organ is removed or looses its function (like a vestige), the systems neccessary for life will not function, hence there would noe be any life.
Darwin says that the wings of a flightless bird are vestiges. If that's so, all birds today would be able to fly! (contradiction here!!!) Darwin, did it ever occur to that the wings of a flightless birds cannot carry such a heavy bird??! (ostrich, kiwi, chicken)

3.) Where is the evolution now? Can't find it anywhere.. not even in FOSSILS.
There are fossils of animals and plants that still exist today. Is there any sign of change? No! That falsifies Evolution!

4.) The Finch beaks? They change? Darwin, can't you just keep things simple??!!!
Darwin says that the Finch beaks adapted to eat their prey. Did it every occur to Darwin that they are all different species, hence allowing for different appearances?!
______________________________...

You may find the term 'Evolution', the theory that is now misprooved, mentioned as though a fact. However, it is only a theory and there is some evidence misprooving! You're on the right track! Do you believe in the Reality Of Creationism?

Darwin was British! All he wanted was fame and fortune!
Here's one of his qoutes: "There is nothing more PROFITABLE than a journey around the world".

Do take note that this is not jsut things I made up. This information is from articles I found on the web. . I would send them to you but they got deleted from my e - mail.

Answer 7

If we all evolved from single celled organisms, why are there still single celled organisms? Do you think there should be no diversity among all animals? Just have one species? Come on now- The expression EVOLVED is your answer!!!
