If we came from monkeys, then WHY ARE THERE STILL MONKEYS???

Question

I don't even LIKE bananas!



Rofl!!

Answer 1

humans and apes have common ancestors. the 300S mercedes benz sedans used the same engine as the 300sl, which was the sports and racing car version, the famous gull-wing, but the sedan version of the motor was actually more powerful. apes are not monkeys but creationists are closely related to monkeys.

the first pocket calculators appeared in the early 1970s and supplanted electromechanical calculators in the banana and monkey business. most monkeys and apes are unable to use either form of calculator and bananas are completely flummoxed when presented with a pocket calculator, mostly because bananas, though clothed, do not have pockets.

bony fish are more closely related to humans than they are to sharks or so i have read. bananas are not grown in this locality on a commercial basis but the region around coff's harbour is one of the principal banana growing regions. however there are no wild monkeys in the area. bony fish and sharks frequent the region offshore. (the sea).

a well drained soil is needed for successful banana growing and they also should have plenty of potassium. the average banana tree is incapable of asking for more potassium so their requirements will be anticipated by the sensitive grower.

it's doubtful whether bananas, bony fish or sharks form the principal diet of either monkeys or apes. buying a classic mercedes-benz, be it sports model or sedan for your monkey is probably a waste of money.

however you can park it under a banana tree and keep a pocket calculator in the glovebox if you wish and drive it (the car, not the calculator or the glovebox) to your favourite fishing spot. don't take your monkey unless he or she is toilet trained if you wish to maintain the value of the vehicle.

Answer 2

Because they evolved from our common ancestor too. We humans got smarter. The great apes, including chimpanzees, got stronger. They are stronger than us humans. (A 180-pound chimp would wipe the floor with a 180-pound human, even a college wrestler.) The others are smaller and more nimble that we are. (Watch a gibbon swinging through the trees, but don't try to imitate him, unless you have an affinity for broken bones.)

Here is a little something extra for you, what the Cajuns call "lagniappe", like the free cookie the baker gives the kids when Mom buys a big birthday cake:

Back in 1776, monarchists argued against democracy as a form of government. They said it was absurd to believe that "All men are created equal" because anyone could see men came in different heights, weights and colors. Case closed.

My point is not about democracy. It is about debate. Before you argue about something, you should understand it. If you don't understand it, you'll look foolish. Gilda Radner, on the original "Saturday Night Live" TV Show, used to do a sketch every couple of weeks in which she made completely ridiculous arguments. One night she argued vehemently against the "Deaf Penalty", instead of the "Death Penalty". She looked absurd, which was the point, and we all laughed until the beer came out our noses, which was what she wanted. You don't want people to laugh at you.

In a serious debate, you should understand the other side. Note that I didn't say "Believe". Understanding is not the same as believing. If you were to study 20th century European Political history, you would have to understand several forms of government: communism (the USSR), fascism (Germany, Italy), socialism (Lots of countries), socialist democracy, capitalistic democracy and constitutional monarchy. You would not believe in all of them; you could not believe in all of them at once. If you tried, your head would explode. You would, however, have to understand their basic concepts.

If you were to study comparative religion, you would have to understand what Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Taoists and Confucians believe. You would not have to convert to a new religion every week, but you would have to understand the other ones. You would not get very far in your studies if you dismissed all the other ones as "wrong". They believe their path is the right one just as strongly as you believe your path is the right one.

99% of the biologists alive today believe that species evolve, and that the theory of evolution is the best explanation we have for the diversity of life. Christian biologists, Jewish biologists, Muslim biologists, Hindu biologists, Buddhist biologists; Australian, Bolivian and Chinese biologists; 99% of them believe it is the best explanation. Yes, it is only a theory. Planetary motion - the theory that the earth went around the sun, not vice versa - was only a theory for a long time. Some people still don't believe it. Their eyes tell them differently.

Species don't evolve at the same rate and they don't all have to evolve. Alligators, to take one example, haven't changed much for 40 million years. The ones that were 50 feet long have become extinct, but the normal 14-footers are still there in the swamps, hoping men don't shoot them to use their hides for shoes. They didn't have to worry about that 3 million years ago. We humans are at the top of the heap today, either because we evolved or God liked us better than He did the alligators. Either way, we can make tools better than any other species.

Your question has been answered, hundreds of times, by people more versed in biology than I. It gets answered ever week here at YA.

If you are truly curious, ask your minister to give you a short, reasoned explanation of evolution. If he says he can't because it is wrong, he is as ignorant as those monarchists I mentioned above.

Answer 3

I don't know about you, sorry, but I do not "...come from monkeys" as you've put it. No scientist ever said we humans came from "monkeys". What, in my understanding, they do say is that life evolves.... changes.... that we are becoming better and better adapted to meet challenges and survive. And that in order to survive more efficiently, our bodies CHANGE, constantly changing... very slowly but changin nevertheless... !!! It is no longer a THEORY of evolution but a FACT of evolution. --- 5 millions of years ago we did not look like we look today and likewise 5 million years from now we will not look as we look today. Perhaps then people will say that we were monkeys after all, lololol -- I for one do NOT have a problem at all accepting the FACT of evolution and my Catholicism... no problem at all !!!

Answer 4

We do not come from monkeys, but a branch in the evolutionary tree that we share similar traits with them and others like orangutans.

For even one species you see on the Earth now, it has evolved from literally hundreds of different sub-species, some that coexist with each other, because they changed along with the environment around where they live.

One example are bats, there are dozens of species of bats, they share the ame common ancestory, but because at one point in the past they broke away from each other to move around the world, they adapted, evolved into different kinds of bats from what they were originally, to eat different food, have superior senses to other bat species, even certain places where they live and sleep differs.

If you really want to know the truth about evolution, I suggest you read up on evolution and sub-species instead of just hearing something on television or radio, or what one of your friends says and accept that as the truth.

Answer 5

Because monkeys are funny. Nearly as funny as the level of ignorance displayed by fundies.

Atheism. You know it makes sense.

Answer 6

first, monkey does not look like Godzilla!!!

next, we did not come from monkeys, we share many characteristic with them because we came from the same family line. and that tell, why they are still here.

i do not like apple, i do not even remember when was the last time i eat it, why do i got this thing in my throat?


--

Answer 7

Maybe because monkeys really came from us.

Answer 8

do you really believe in evolution? of course, it is not true.. it doesn't exists.. but creation exists.. anyway, if you're really interested, let's just say that evolution is true.. then, maybe those monkeys that you're still seeing haven't transformed into men..

Answer 9

thats because we dont come from monkeys, darwin's theory exist only on fairytales!

lol i reason like an atheist

Answer 10

Hi. Don't believe these beliefs . study about religion .
