Question for evolutionist. If man evolved from the ape....?

Question

...Will todays apes eventually evolve into man? And if we have apes, and have man, why don't we have the middle part like a half evolved, half man half ape?( I hope i made myself clear)

Answer 1

Jordan, you have an excellent question...unfortunately anytime you ask such a question, atheists get all offended and tell you to read a book or give some witty retort that isn't really an answer. we don't have the middle half evolved half man half ape because THERE NEVER WAS ONE. You and I know this to be true because we are interested in facts. The so-called "evidence" for these beings amounts to no more that ape skulls put back together to look like some evolved hominid creature. But no matter what kind of evidence for ID, no matter how solid or concrete, certain people will never take it seriously because it challenges humanist and materialist thinking. They have exchanged the truth for a lie. Read Romans Chapter 1:18-32 it pretty much explains the predicament of mankind.

Answer 2

Nobody knows what any species will look like in the future. Apes now live under totally different circumstances than they did back then so it would be reasonable to expect that evolution may take a different course this time.

We don't have the half-ape (the late Andre the Giant excluded) because humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor that lived millions of years ago which no longer exists. Think of it this way, you and Bobo the chimp have the same great-great-great-(lot more greats)-grandfather. If that offends you that's too bad.

Answer 3

No, they will not evolve into men..... This is not how we evolved. But its okay - you are making the same mistake that your religion teaches you to make.....

Man and ape decended from a common ancestor. Meaning, before there was either apes or man, there was an animal that was neither man nor ape, but would eventually become both. We, as man, evolved down one twig of the evolutionary branch, while apes and others primates evolved down a different twig of the same primate branch.
The reason we dont not have a half-ape man any longer is because we never had one to begin with.

Answer 4

What is an evolutionist??? Apes and man have a common ancestor but there is no ecological niche that would increase the likelihood of natural selection to bring about the evolutionary changes of present day apes as you suggest. At one time there were several homonid species in existance at one time - Neanderthal, Homo Sapiens, Homo Erectus but we are the sole survivor of this group. Do you poster doubt the existance of cats? There are lions, tigers, bobcats, jaguars, domestic cats, as well as extinct species - sabre tooth etc that have a common lineage and they are unlikely to evolve into something other than what they are. If you want to find the simian forbearers of modern man look at the fossil record. The fossil record supports this quite eloquently. (I hope this is clear to you.)

Answer 5

We have fossils of intermediate species. Many, many of them.

Second, we evolved from a common ancestor with apes.

Apes have 24 chromosome pairs, we have 23. We can now look at both genomes and see where one pair fused in our evolution from that common ancestor.

If that, and then other subsequent evolutionary steps were to happen in our modern apes, then it's possible they could evolve into beings like us, however, they would likely not be just like us since evolution has taken many steps since we split off from apes.

Answer 6

This is why they need to teach more biology in public school.

First of all, man did not evolve from ape, we share a common ancestor. Secondly, no.

There isn't a straight line from bacteria to human. It isn't as though they are the beginning and humans are the end -- of all life. We're a leaf on a tree. A particularly intelligent leaf, but that doesn't alone guarantee our survival, not does it mean that evolution towards our species would be advantageous for other animals.

Hec, in the case of global warming, the mosquito seems far more predisposed for survival. Technically insects have a far more robust strategy in terms of evolutionary survival, I guess you could say.

Answer 7

It doesn't even make sense coz if it was true that Man evolved from the Ape, then there shouldn't even be anymore apes.

Answer 8

Man did not evolve from the ape. Man evolved separately, from a common point of origin.

Answer 9

I don't think evolution states that man evolved from the apes. We evolved from a common ancestor. So no, apes will not evolve into man.

Answer 10

They could, theoretically, evolve along the same lines as man, but will never be men.

Your question about half-men leads me to believe you don't know much about chimpanzees, which share 96-99% of our DNA.

And they keep finding fossils that appear to be human ancestors, so maybe it's a matter of time.
