What are the scientific proofs and evidences like fossils and specimen prove that man descended from the apes?

Answer 1

There is no evidence that humans descended from apes. There is, however, evidence that both apes and humans descended from a common ancestor, much like you and your cousin share a common ancestor.

Mutations are not always a loss of information. A mutation can be a change in an existing gene, or the addition of a new base pair sequence.

Answer 2

Humans did not descend from apes.
Apes AND humans descended from a common ancestor that apparently lived somewhere in Africa. Oldest found bones of possible hominid / pre-hominid are called Lucy. They only found enough to know the bones belonged to a female.
Also, by following traces of mitochondrial DNA biologists have been able to trace modern humans back to a place somewhere on the western side of the African Continent I think.
The fossils are there. More are being found. It's just very hard, when you have nothing but bones to say "yeah, this criter is the bridge between the animal hominid and the human." Where do you say being human is centered, anyway? Using tools? Chimps do that all the time when they want a tasty termite. Even some birds do it. (use tools) Using language? There isn't much left in fossils that can indicate the use of that. At least not in fossils as old as Lucy.
They are still working on it. Check out the National Geograhic magazine and the Smithsonian Magazine. I think they also have web sits.

Answer 3

Fossils are not scientific proofs. They are evidences. Possible similarities between ancient skeletons of men or animals do not prove anything but that the creature lived and then died. In order for an ape or ape-ancestor to evolve into a human (or anything else for that matter) information would have to be added to its DNA. Mutations never cause or result from an increase in DNA information, only a loss. BTW, macro evolution (one species gradually becoming another) is not truly a scientific theory. According to the Scientific Method, an idea (hypothesis) must be tested and observed before becoming a theory and eventually a law. Macro evolution has never been observed or tested, and is therefore only a hypothesis.

Answer 4

Humans didn't descend from apes - this is a common misconception. Both humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor millions of years ago. There is scientific evidence (err..the fossil record) to prove this. Early humans inhabited Africa for a very long time and eventually branched out to Asia and Europe. Humans and apes split from the evolutionary tree millions of years ago.

Answer 5

The Church of Scientific Anthropology told me so. They have the One Truth and all other ideas are False and Path to Public Ridicule. You hear new discoveries in the field of Astronomy that turns old theories on their ears all the time. Many times Astronomers have had to basically shrug in a press release and say, 'we might figure this out someday, but right now it's the weirdest thing we've ever seen'. You don't see real science like that happening in Anthropology. They are like some extremist faith with a Dogma that it must defend. If they find something that does not mesh with the theories they already have, they will ridicule it into nothingness, ostracize the researcher who proposed it, and the evidence often ends us mysteriously disappearing. I think it's a conspiracy of some kind. Seriously.

Answer 6

You really want to know the truth, go explore the answers in Genesis web site, there many scientists of all fields have proof, evidence that the ape-man fossils are fake, and/or misinterpreted. There is video on demand, books, articles by the scientists including articles by atheist evolutionists turned Creationist just by investigating the evidence alone.

Answer 7

I believe there is ample evidence of evolution both at the micro and macro levels. With your particular question of specific examples let me direct you to an excellent on-line elaboration at wikipedia.com (link below). For proof and evidence pay particular attention to the section detailing the morphological evidence (fossil evidence) and molecular evidence (similarity of DNA in all organisms). Keep in mind that when dealing with evolution one must adjust their time scale and realize that an evolution from an ape to human would have taken hundreds of thousands of years.

Answer 8

in numerous hundred pages of observations on existence, the Universe and each thing, it would be somewhat an fulfillment to get surely each and every thing incorrect, even for writers 2500 years in the past. technology, nonetheless, this is yet another question. the place is the mathematics? i've got little question that L Ron Hubbard's "Dianetics" contains some bits of certainty right here and there besides.

Answer 9

They are more than numerous if you look,so i'll just mention my favorite. If you notice the developing fetus (provided it isn't aborted) you will notice developmental stages where the fetus has gills and a tail. How do you explain these genetic indicia ?

Answer 10

i dont believe theres much theres just alot of assumptions. i dont believe in evolution.
