since monkey evolved to man. will man evolve again to something else?

Answer 1

well, we arnt sure, but we know that we evolved from something from the fossil specimens we excavated. After some analysis, we figured a mix between monkeys and man. We arnt sure what the future holds, and my religous and yet scientific view is that yes, we eventually will, considering all the flaws the human has.

Answer 2

Monkeys didn't evolve to man because there are still monkeys aren't there?

Basically if you understand evolution (and with all due respect you sound like you could do some brushing up) then you'll have to realise that evolution is about selection pressures. I think there are sexual selection figures going on in our world but as you don't have to be a moviestar to have kids then genes are getting to replicate quite happily and even people with less that perfect genes for survival (I wear eye glasses for example) still live - this is a state of genetic drift.

There is no built in need to evolve 'upwards' - look at penguins and kiwis - they've lost the ability to fly. If we lived in caves we might go blind after a few hundred or thousand generations as our eyesight would atrophy. If man 'evolves' it will probably be due to genetic engineering and nantechnology other than natural selection pressures in the environment.

Answer 3

well, the monkey didn't exactly evolve to man. Man and monkey evolved from a common monkey-like ancestor. And to answer your question, man is always evolving, although right now our technology keeps us from needing survival of the fittest very much. We are already quite fit. If you think about it though, bad genes that give genetic diseases or whatever are being evolved out because people who have them die and don't have kids. That's what evolution is. Our species probably won't change too much though, it would take millions of years.

Answer 4

It depends what you mean by 'something else'. We already have a large pool of variation, any or all of which could lead to speciation if the conditions were right.

For instance, you are probably aware of many 'styles' of man that are genetically inheritable. There are things like skin color, dwarfism and down syndrome to name a few.

There are also less visible differences like sickle cell anemia or juvenile onset diabetes.

The missing ingredient for evolution to really take off is a survival advantage over the 'norm'. This is where our behavior tends to weaken evolutionary forces. All of our various types live (some longer than others) and all could conceivably breed. As long as we manage nature well enough, no natural selection is likely, and without that, no evolution.

This leaves off the possibility of a 'man directed evolution' which would be in a different catagory, but is certainly possible. We may as a species, someday act to breed certain characteristics either into or out of ourselves.

Answer 5

Any environmental condition that causes some of us to have more babies than others will lead to an evolutionary change. As always, the individuals having the most offspring are better represented in the next generation. It's hard to imagine what that would be these days, because we help those with poor health and reproductive problems, so selection may be based on something else entirely.

Answer 6

Humans did not evolved to man. Humans and monkeys share a common ancestor.
