whom are our ancestors:?

Question

a- Adam & Eve?
b- Apes?

Answer 1

I have read Richard Dawkin's book The Ancestor's Tale. Here is his answer to your question:
" Take our imaginary time machine absurdly far back,say 100 million years,to an age when our ancestors resembled shrews or opossums. Somewhere in the world at that ancient date,at least one of my personal ancestors must have been living ,or I wouldn't be here.Let us call this particular little mammal Henry.If Henry is my ancestor he has to be yours too.
It is perfectly possible that Henry is my ancestor while his brother Eric is the ancestor of,say,all the surviving aardvarks.It is a remarkable fact that there must be a moment in history when there were 2 animals in the same species ,one of whom became the ancestor of all humans and no aardvarks,while the other became the ancestor of all aardvarks and no humans.They may well have met,and may even have been brothers.You can cross out aardvark and substitute any other modern species you like,and the statement must still be true.Think it through and you will find that it follows from the fact that all species are cousins of one another.Bear in mind when you do so that the "ancestor of all aardvarks" will also be the ancestor of lots of very different things besides aardvarks(in this case,the entire major group called Afrotheria which includes elephants and dugongs,hyraxes and Madagascan tenrecs).
My reasoning was constructed as a reductio ad absurdum. It assumed that Henry lived long enough ago for it to be obvious that he begat either all living humans,or none."

So,according to Dawkins,our ancestors go WAY beyond apes. This book of his is literally LITTERED with assumptions and presumptions that come only from his overactive imagination. I find everything he has written here totally absurd and highly unbelievable,because he is taking the same idea of Adam and Eve as our common HUMAN ancestors,and twisting it around to suit his evolution purposes.
Adam and Eve are our true ancestors,the start of mankind. If anyone actually believes,as Dawkins does,that our earlier ancestors could have ever possibly resembled a shrew or possum,I'm sorry,but that is just insane. To believe that over believing that God created humans,well,that's just as ridiculous and unbelievable as a horse giving birth to a seal. Honestly,people will believe absolutely anything to keep God out of the equation,and yet they say religious people are brainwashed.
If people can stretch their imaginations that far,why is it so hard to believe God created man.How is that such a stretch?

Answer 2

Adam and Eve could have descended from a common ancestor to apes, right?

I am more inclined to believe in evolution, though.

Answer 3

Every one on Earth, yes the metaphors Adam and Eve even Jesus Christ was evolved from Apes. Yes I'm sorry that you can't bare to admit it but your great grand ancestors were apes. BB

Answer 4

Adam and Eve were created from clay and so are we! We are the children of Adam and Eve! Being turned into apes was a punishment for some human beings who disobeyed Allah (God)!

Answer 5

As far as science and DNA goes. It has been stated all people can be traced back to one* very small group of people*

As far as apes,fish and evolution. Think about what I am about to tell you as long as it takes for you to understand. A human can't think of or create something unless it's based on past knowledge or experience. That is fact. Now explain how any of the 5 senses could have evolved out of thin air? Evolution would need a 6th sense , but that wouldn't be evolution now would it.

Answer 6

Darwin, nor anyone else with more than two brain cells, never said we came from apes. We and modern apes descended from a common ancestor that was not quite ape and not quite human. Deal with it.

Answer 7

I am the proud desendent of an ape like creature that figured out it was better to climb down out of the trees and steal meat from the lions than it was to sit up in the tree and be safe and hungry.

Answer 8

I'm African Americcan, so I can't really trace my family tree. Sure it sucks, but I'm coping.

As for A and B....... Adam and Eve are metaphoric representations. Thinking that you are a direct deecendant of a couple of metaphors is nothing to be proud off either.

Answer 9

Adam and Eve. No doubt in my mind.

Answer 10

Apes to start with,
then they evolved into humans,
starting with Adam & Eve.
Thereafter we all were born. OK ?
