First off, they've found plenty of million year old monkeys. The problem is that our evolutionary branch split of from the branch of monkeys and apes just a few tens of millions of years ago. Now as for million year old hominids(those would be our ancestors) they've found plenty of those too. The oldest so far is the Dikika baby, which has been named Selam. That one dates to 3.3 million years old. Which is just you know, about 3,294,000 years older than the world is according to the bible. So before you start questioning evolution and scientifically proven facts, why don't you provide some scientific evidence that anything the bible says is true or ever happened? Oh wait, there isn't any. Too bad for you.

The bones found that are a million years old would not be a monkey. They would be the ancestor of a monkey. If you are going to criticize evolution, you should read up on it first.

Have you looked in to it?
There are indeed prehistoric monkey ancestors.
We have a common ancestor with monkeys about 40 million years ago.
I hope that doesn't confuse you, the world being only 6000 years old and all that...

If you go back far enough, they aren't monkeys anymore. Here's the 56-million-year-old common ancestor:

You did not remember it in zoology, either. That is all right, as you creationists have memory troubles. We will remember it for you. Go here, to start.

Don't remember or haven't looked?

Yeah, it's stupid, I know... Darwin's idea of us evolving from monkeys. It was probably Darwin's explanation for why som people like bananas sooooooooooo much (that's my joke). he observed that this explanation/theory would make him very very very famous... a dream of every british.
