First, chimpanzees, our closest relatives, are not "monkeys;" they are apes (primates).
Second, we did not evolve from chimpanzees. Chimps and humans once had a common ancestor. Phylogeny (the history of evolution) is a branching system not a ladder). Modern chimps and modern humans are separate branches from this common ancestor.
Third, although scientists do argue about the rate of evolution, evolution is a more or less gradual process. Our man:chimp ancestor did not give birth to modern humans or modern chimps. Rather, over time, the branches that gave rise to modern humans and modern chimps accrued mutations that typify today's modern species.

Man has not come from a monkey. The evolutionists believe there is a common ancestor from which all living things evolved, its genes altered over the course of millions of years. This has not been found, and the evolutionists claim it is because it was a small, soft bodied creature that could not have been fossilized. However, you will not hear that in China, Cambrian age fossils have been found...embryos, and cells. If you can fossilize an embryo, or cell, then the small soft-bodied creature should have fossilized easily. The Cambrian explosion, evolutionists believe, is the Big Bang of life. If there really were a common ancestor, we would have found one. But in that Cambrian layer, all different phyla of creatures were found to have been existing at once, therefore disproving the theory of a common ancestor. You will never hear this in the modern schools which only teach the evidence FOR the evolutionary theory.

Monkeys, Apes & Human Beings (not just Man, Woman also) evolved from the same group of species called Primates....
Please read some books on Biology and understand the process of evolution...
And.... Please ask the question in a correct way, women may read this question and think that they originated from something else....
And a monkey till now is not known give birth to a human being..

Man doesn’t just come from a monkey. Evolution requires genetic segregation (a different environment perhaps) allowing for different genes to be expressed. During the genetic separation those which can handle the environment ‘better’ pass those genes on - over time the genes expressed look different than those of whence you came – and we call it a different species but clearly has a common ancestor. Like a lion and tiger to a house cat. They clearly look and act similarly, but are a different species. Just extrapolate to man. The major difference is the developed brain (diet change, etc).
Hope this helps

No don't hear them about religions...So for the lady that said about the religious matter i would ask her why a chicken has wings if she cannot fly......So we came from a monkey we differ from them 0,2% and that makes us different.A shark cannot give birth to a dolphin kid and a cat not to a panther and the the dolphin with the shark and the cat with thhe panther are in the same ''family'' that means that the DNA musst have the same nucleodids so that it can be coppied

birth is not neccassary in this case, monkey evolves during it's life and reaches a certain point gives birth and produces an offspring that looks like them, then the offspring continues evolving

God should smite you for your stupidity.
Every time someone challenges that "man came from a monkey" I have a good laugh at how little they know about what they refuse to believe on religious principle. I have to think, if you know as little about your religion as you know about the things your religion is 'against', then you have a better chance of getting to know the Tooth Fairy than of getting to know God.
