If I`m an ape? then how come my dna has 0 trace of it at all??

Question

And if i had sex with another monkey how come the monkey won`t have half human half monkey? If we came from apes this should be possible if were even close to their genetical makeup.

Answer 1

Science dismisses the theory that you were ever an Ape or its descendant.

Answer 2

I'll just pretend for a moment you are asking a serious question, rather than fielding an misinformed attempt to pick an argument.

Homo sapiens share upwards of 90% common DNA with the other Great Apes, with the closest match being Chimpanzees at 98%. However, while we have a common ancestor that we evolved from, our respective species are differentiated enough to be incompatible for reproduction. So, even if you managed to get past the different social and mating behaviours of "the monkeys", nothing will come of it.

If I may make a comment, you may have more luck with a common ancestor further back. The shrew-like mammals that survive the mass extinction event that killed the dinosaurs, or even the fish that spawned the move from water to land could probably be your speed. Sure, there's the same issue with incompatibility in reproductive biology - but you sound like you're up for a challenge.

Answer 3

We are actually closer to 97% to Chimps (not apes) but I'm sure we are just about as close to Chimps as Apes. I'm not saying I believe in evolution, but if you want to make an argument against evolution, it should be solid and factual.

Also, the reason we can't procreate with monkeys is a thing called speciation. After awhile of separation from monkeys our reproductive systems wouldn't work together anymore theoretically. Just like a house cat couldnt have kittens with a tiger, even though both are felines.

Answer 4

Oh my. To start with you are an ape so your DNA is 100% ape. Then about 99% the same as chimpanzee. In order to be able to hybridize two species have to be much closer than humans and our closest relatives, chimpanzees. Now chimpanzees cant even hybridize with other apes like gorillas as they are more closely related to humans than they are to gorillas. But still not close enough to interbreed. Although you do hear rumors from some research facilities of strange test tube babies.........

Answer 5

You sure know how to put your foot in it...../sigh

You are NOT an ape. Apes and humans have a common ancestor, the human evolutionary branch split off eons ago.

Tracing human DNA shows this evolutionary story by showing that human DNA shares about 70% with all life on this planet. This should tell you that all life is interrelated and that all life affects all other life and most importantly that all life is precious, none really being more important in moral terms than another.

Your argument makes very convoluted statements, first you pronounce that you're an Ape then follow that with a story about monkeys, I'm afraid that monkeys and Apes are completely different beings which makes your statements nonsensical. You really should learn and practice how to make a common sense argument .

I imagine that you believe that all life sprang instantly into existence...I respect that view.. and as you're so sure of it there is nothing I or anyone else can do to disuade you...I feel sorry for you though because you're missing the bigger picture...regardless of How Life began you're missing the Why of Life question.

Because by you're own admission Life simply exists therefore by logical argument it has no Why. OK I understand...

Therefore taking your argument to its logical conclusion you as part of that Life have no reason to be you just are.....rather sad ....can you justify Why you are...?? I guess God knows so you don't have to ..yes??

I guess that you don't matter to yourself then?? I really think that you do care deep down....come on admit it...say I care about me...!!

Now say because I care about me I care about others..!!

There that didn't hurt did it...!!

Now unfortunately if you really care about yourself and therefore about others then you will have to think about how you can be a better person or the reason you're here and stuff like that...yes ....make sense..? OK then now we're getting somewhere....

Now assuming you're religious....wouldn't it make sense for you to be nice to your fellow man....love your neighbour and stuff like that...??

Great then why don't you do that and accept that folks have discovered something really neat like DNA....found links between us humans and to the rest of life on this planet.....have given some folks a reason to exist apart from breathing and procreating....and live your life knowing that you are actually part of that life...an integral part....and that other people therefore have a right to be an integral part...just like you....and accept that they believe just as firmly and honestly as you do that life did not spring up instantly and that they have just as much right as you to believe that.....huh...?? sound like "love your neighbour" to you...

Believe what you want to believe.....let others find meaning and purpose in their own way....live your belief.....understand what it is you really believe....

But above all else understand yourself.....before you start sprouting unsubstantiated garbage at other thinking human beings and expect them to respect you

Capiche??

Answer 6

You are not an ape, you are a primate and so are apes. Monkeys have tails where as apes do not. We share a common ancestor with apes and our genetic material has evolved differently from theirs to the point of not being compatible. Religion is clouding your rational thought!

Answer 7

Good question. And gee, none of the evolution supporters here have given you a direct answer. There is much more than a missing "link." Try an entire missing chain.

Edit: Note that evolution supporters are saying that there is a common ancestor for humans and apes, monkeys, whatever. But there is no fossil record. There is also no fossil record for Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster or Chupacabra. I guess there is just as much chance for Big Foot to exist as this "common ancestor." Most mainstream scientists scoff at the existence of these mythical creatures because they say theres no fossil evidence, but insist in the existence of a common ancestor? Give me a break. There is no logic in their rationale at all. Evolutionists: Show me PROOF of this common ancestor.

Answer 8

I am sorry but you must not know too much about DNA.

Humans share small amounts of DNA with other creatures; including primates, other mammals, fish and birds.

They are just now unlocking the mysteries of DNA.

But do you know the building block of DNA clay.

Answer 9

We don't come from apes. Apes and humans evolved from a common ancestor.

Please study Evolution before asking such a poorly thought up and non-researched question.

Answer 10

1. Speciation
http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/evo101/VBDefiningSpeciation.shtml

2. Homo sapiens did not evolve from monkeys (or even modern apes)

3. But you'd better try, just to make sure.

Answer 11

Ideas are tried with experiment. Better you have sex with monkey, observe and see the result of your experiment.
