some of the older monkeys in the olden days refused to change.
( just like today) They just kept making the same old monkeys.
The newer type monkeys filled a different niche and gradually separated from the old style monkeys and so on and so forth.
The newer type came from random mutations that happened to give them an advantage over the other monkeys so they prospered and flourished. All their progeny obtained the same mutations and so on. Each time a random mutation conferred an advantage, that special type prospered. The inefficient monkeys that could not compete lanquished except for the few that were able to survive in the old way in the jungle. the newer monkeys moved out and built huts. These newer types themselves had random mutations and even more advanced monkeys came about that also got better and went higher. They invented speech. Then writing.
There is still a search for remains of the "missing link" between the old style monkeys we see today and the newer homo sapiens types that inhabit the earth. This search is being conducted by the scientist monkeys of the newest types, but the old monkeys do not seek to learn nor care to know. they just howl and screech and screw and eat and defecate in the trees. Some of them have progressed to a point where they have developed a primitive religion and have oppossable thumbs but they are still not interested in science. Only superstitions. They may be the missing links?

We did not come from monkeys. The monkeys and ourselves came from a common ancestor a very long time ago. Presumably the two groups diverged before we started looking anything like human.
Why does a species separate into two or more sub-groups, eventually evolving differently? The most obvious reason is that they get separated geographically. A band or tribe moved north, and another moved south. If they never found each other again (and there's no reason to assume they did), their gene pools were separated. Changes that came about due to survival traits in one area being different from the other thus made them gradually diverge. In the north/south example, one factor was probably adaptation to different temperature ranges. But perhaps they encountered very different foods, and their chemistry adapted to what was available. Or perhaps one tribe encountered another, and began mixing genes with them. Their hunting and gathering habits might change, as well as any agriculture they developed.
I guess this is a more serious answer than you expected, isn't it?

If we came from monkeys, totally nude humans would be coming out of the jungle! ...it would be like another little human factory over there. Since that has never happened, i can't believe we come from the monkeys. And you're probably right, there wouldn't be any more monkeys left! but i do like bananas.... could it mean I came from the monkeys??? :S

Anyone who doesn't think we came from monkeys are either blind to the law of natural selection (which is a law, just like gravity), or have way to high an opinion of the human race.
Evolution doesn't mean "your parents are monkeys", it means your ancestors from millions of years ago were monkeys.

Humans do not come directly from monkeys. As I understand, monkeys and humans have common ancestors waaaay back millions of years, and from these common ancestors (ancient primates) both apes and hominids evolved. Monkeys are still evolving in their own way, same as we are. And no, apes will not evolve into humans, they will just change the same as we change over tenths of thousands of years.

Saying humans came from monkeys is exactly the same as saying monkeys came from humans. We share a common ancestor that we bridged apart from through beneficial mutations.

Exactly. We didn't come from monkeys! God created us in his own image. By the way, he made monkeys too. GOD IS THE CREATOR! Did you know? The Father of Evolution later admitted he was wrong and returned to Christianity.
