If you take the 'scientific' stand, evolution is a most coherent theory, that is supported by a myriad range of evidence. However, it takes a LONG time to occur. All manner of initial conditions (the necessary mutations, benefits to those mutations, circumstances) need to be present and sustained to evolve any creature. Several thousand years is an eye-blink in evolutionary terms. They may well evolve into something given time, but the humans then (we may have evolved too, but nevermind that), would have forgotten what the previous monkeys look like and someone will inevitably ask the same question you did again. Also, the necessary conditions to evolve any particular organism is amazingly unique and complex. A needle in a seemingly infinite haystack. If that organism is one of such complexity as a human being... I believe you get the idea.
If you're one who believes creationism or any such similar ideas, then the answer is simply that the divine disallows it.
As for the aliens, such scientific prowess in genetic manipulation would demand beings of unimaginable greatness. At any rate, despite everything science has achieved, I would still say that I cannot imagine science to create life, or even be able to manipulate something 'non-intelligent' into something like Man. Even if such theories are feasible, we will still need to answer the question of whence the aliens come from. In the end, we are back to the Big Bang and other such notions.

The second question doesn't seem real, so I can't answer that.
As for the first, I suggest you find out what biology is first. Done? Okay, so that means you realize humans ARE apes. Now, maybe you mean why don't million year old primates evolve into humans anymore? The answer is, because they already have. Evolution would seem like creationism if the same species can be produced again in drastically different environments. Even if you wait a million years, the primates will have evolved into something else, but not human.
Please, read about what evolution is. These questions only seem profound to people who don't know what they're talking about.

Apes never turned into humans in the first place. Why not try spending a little more time studying your science, and less listening to morons who don't know what they're talking about.
And, for your information, wise a**, every living thing, plant and animal, on this planet shares the same basic DNA.
That's right, we share it with the grass on the front lawn and the fish in the sea. This is a scientifically proven fact, not theory, or summation. All life here on Earth, including yours, unfortunately, is interconnected, and despite all the senseless rhetoric that spews forth from you, and others like you, it doesn't change the facts.

You need to realize one fact first, and foremost. Evolution never sleeps, so as we live our lives things have occurred to have such a minor effect on evolution that we cannot even see such changes. However, in several millions of years a dramatic change can be seen, and will be tracable directly to the source, even our time.
However, the cycle begins in space. Out there amoung the cosmos events are occurring, many of them have no effect today on Earth, but some of them do, others are yet to effect us. They may effect our wheather in such a way, that this planet could be a very different place in just a few thousand years, and that is a dramatic change, so you know.
Point, when the cosmos act, nature responds. When nature acts, evolution responds. Dramatic change is so rapid often many species are unable to adapt, they become extinct. Slow moderate change gives time for the lifeforms effected to adjust and adapt.
We adapted to our present form because the world we lived in changed in such a way it required certain things, so evolution emphasised those thingswe have that work in this evioronment, and those that were unable to adapt died off, killing that absolete branch. It is still happening today, those that do better in the environment will move on, those that cannot function will die off - over time. Evolution is just like the cosmos, it takes millions of years to see a change, not in a few millenium.
We may very well see, one day in about 2 million years, where the monkey or ape of today is developing into something else, How evolution will respond to this change, your guess is as good as mine, but we should take head to how it has responded in the past to similiar events.
We also need to realize, all species will be effected by evolution and the environment at the same time, but not in the same ways. Just because one species; such as, the ape, adapts to a new world, does not mean it will survive. Other species may adapt into a very apt hunter species, and have a taste for the ape, killing off the species in a few thousand years. There are dangers in all evironmets for all species, even if they are not obvious to the species. Look at the neanderthol, the species survived for about 100,000 years and it was the lack of social and communication skills, plus the new hunter species entering their space that led to their demise.
Many peope think you have to decide which theory you believe in, the man came from primates or a God created everything. In fact, these are not two different theories at all. They are both one and the same, just explained diffferently. You see, there had to be a a higher power to put certain things into place, to allow the rest to occur. Science is not finding another explanation, science is " Explaining The Hand Of God." It is the unfolding of this universe that created life, evolution, the cycle of life. God may not be the entiry we assumed or were taught, but indeed, a higher power ( higher than our understanding) has indeed had a hand in designing all that we know of, what is yet to come, and that which is beyond our comprehension. Remember also, destruction of one thing always brings about birth of the next. One day our species will die off too, it has happened to every species in the past, other than those which still survive today, which are also doomed one day. This will bring about a rebirth of a new species that will suceed, and perhaps if it can survive a few million years will also be a species of high intelligence.
If you believe in God, then you believe in Science, just remember that. Science explains the hand or God, and often assist him in his work.

According to last findings, the apes and the human ancestors diverge since 7 millions year> So , it is unlikely that DNA of the two species can match

Good question. It's true though, if Apes just suddenly quit turning into humans after doing it before that destroys the whole evolution theory. I'm personally against it anyways but you make a good point.

It is amazing,a few of the possibilities.A deformed ape/chimp was born mutating into human,god [poofed]one over the hill.A single celled organism morphed into our beginning many moons ago.A healthy chimp gave birth to human,which multiplied miraculously.I go with the theory of evolution.

I think you listen to Art Bell a little too much.
Of do you really think we are a DNA experiment from a long lost civilization that lived underground on Mars?

that's a good Q but the answer simple. there was one certain breed of ape that could rotate their thumbs, that ape turned into man, there are no more of those apes to evolve anymore because its already happened. although it does take a few million years so maybe we haven't noticed yet. the alien theory is one iv asked myself many times. i think cats are the aliens.

I really like monkeys but I like horses better do we get to choose? Who's in charge if we plan to conceive and where do we go for this planned horsehood? Should I get some books on horses to get to know my heritage?
