if humans are a DNA split how did evolution provide for a huge difference in development between humans and monkees

It is more accurate to say that our ancestors split from monkeys over 15 million years ago. Our ancestors split from orangutans about 12 million years ago meaning one ape later evolved into orangutans and another went on to eventually evolve into us. There may have been numerous side brances as well. About 8 million years ago we split from the common human/chimp/gorillas ancestor. One evolved into gorillas, the other evolved into chimps and us. 5 million we split from the common human/chimp ancestors. One branch went to evolved into chimps the other into other organisms including us. Our DNA is not technically split from monkeys. We share most of our DNA with other primates. The more closely related, the more DNA we share. Humans should be classified as a type of ape very closely related to chimpanzees.

Well, as a biological anthropologist I have learned to never classify "change" by any particular "theory" of action such as evolution in your case. With that being said, evolution consists of losing pieces of the DNA strand to create a new change of some sort "the evolving into a new species" part. Surprisingly, the monkeys would have had to lose something in their DNA in order to become a homo sapiens (human). In order for such a mutation to occur for a monkey to become a human... it would take a once in a million chance for the DNA to be able to replicate itself and be able to reproduce. It would have only taken a miracle for this to happen. Just a note... "Adaptations" are not "evolving stages". They are completely different alterations to the DNA. As far as your question goes, the monkey evolution theory cannot state nor defend itself as a fact... or else we would already know the answer by now.

I would have to say yes and if you need an example of how its possible for humans and monkeys to have a DNA split and be so different look at fish and sea life compared to land reptiles, they have the same DNA split and are just as different.

We split from the New World monkees before trichomatic color vision evolved. New World monkees have dichromatic color vision.
The common ancestor to monkees, apes (including humans), and a few other groups lived about 55 million years ago.

Every individual gene in DNA effects something profoundly. Our DNA has some genes different than monkees, so there are many differences.

The Monkees were a pop group. Had a TV show.
Humans.

Actually it's the other way around. The only written mention of the origin of monkeys is found in the Quran where it says :
002.065
And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected."
007.163
Ask them concerning the town standing close by the sea. Behold! they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath. For on the day of their Sabbath their fish did come to them, openly holding up their heads, but on the day they had no Sabbath, they came not: thus did We make a trial of them, for they were given to transgression.
...
007.166
When in their insolence they transgressed (all) prohibitions, We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected."
Basically, there was a tribe of Jews who transgressed against God so he turned them into monkeys. Pigs fall under the same category too. So No human came from a monkey. It's the other way around.

Humans are effectively hairless apes, only 4 or 5 percent difference in DNA.

Monkees are humans, as seen here. Perhaps you intended to say monkeys?

No. the 1st civilizations had no ideals. the 1st ideals have been with regards to the son. human beings worshipped the son because of the fact it gave them existence, gentle, foodstuff, and so on. They knew they have been screwed without the son, so as that they concept it replace into some sort oof divinty. maximum religions immediately nonetheless have components from the unique son-god, like info of ways that's born, the way it dies, that's direction in existence (Horus' and Jesus' memories have a variety of of info taken from those myths, as an occasion).
