I need to find a source that actually states that blacks came from monkeys. I remember hearing in high school, that Darwin had documented this, but I can't seem to find it online. I have found many things that say all of man has come from monkeys, but I need to find something that says only blacks did. Thanks a bunch.

You are not going to find it because Darwin never said it. NO scientist believes it. That is an absolute perversion of Darwinism.
In fact, those places that said that "man has come from monkeys"? Avoid them like the plague ... they are full of misinformation. Again, NO scientist believes that.
Anybody who says that only blacks came from monkeys is a serious racist. Don't go there.

Nobody came from monkeys, but all mankind and all present-day apes had a common ancestor that lived about 10 million years ago. The development of races is a relatively recent phenomenon (by comparison!), since it had to have happened within the past hundred thousand years or so. A shorter time would not be sufficient for the different characteristics to develop, and a longer time would have permitted other differences to arise which we do not see.

You can not find this source because it does not exists. Darwin, being a man of his time and uninformed by genetics, had some wrong ideas on race. It appears that you, with the opportunity of modern education, are just as badly misinformed.

You gotta be out of your head. Darwin never argued that any race of men "evolved" from any of the great ape species. He believed that humanoids, all of them, and the great apes had a common ancestor in the evolutionary chain that produced both.
Although it has long seemed to me that some people, yourself included, not only "descended" from apes, but are evidently not yet done descending.
Don't even pretend that you have ever read a word of Darwin's work.

Blacks are only "black" because of the hot desert enviroment of their sourroundings. man did not come from {"monkeys" but from mutations of neandethal and cro-magnen mutations of such
