Are we from an evolution of monkey or ape?

Question

Could you please tell me where you get the information? I need to know.

Answer 1

Neither. According to the classic theory of evolution, they are our cousins. We all evolved from a common simian ancestor.

Answer 2

First, we definitely did not evolve from monkeys. The relationship between monkeys and humans is the same as between cats and dogs - same family but completely different branches.

As apes we are part of the same evolutionary branch as chimpanzees, gorillas, orang-utans and gibbons but we did not evolve from any of these. Ultimately we share a common ancestor but we have all evolved along independent pathways.

Before any of these species existed there was a more primitive ancestor that gradually split into different lineages. The oldest ape lineage is that of the gibbon. Later on another split from the ancestral population led eventually to orang-utans followed by gorillas and then chimpanzees and humans.

Try looking at The rise and fall of the third chimpanzee by Jared Diamond. Chapter 1 explains it all very well.

Answer 3

We share a common ape-like ancestor.
We are genetically closer to the great apes than monkeys, ie the 'monkey' evolution branch split off further back in time than the 'ape' evolution branch.

Answer 4

Both

Apes evolved into monkeys and then evolved into humans. Apes are the most primitive primates and are 30 to 40 existing till date. Then the monkeys are higher in population and highest are us.

Answer 5

evolution works for animals ,but not for people
we were created by the Anunaki as a slave race to mine gold for them
by cloning and genetic engineering
the reptilian brain in out heads is a souvenir of Anunaki genetics.

all other pre-homo sapian humanoids lived at the same time near the same place ,Zimbabwe which are the oldest and deepest gold mines in the world ,they were mistrials of Anunaki experiments ,until they got it right and made us.
there were not of millions of years between them as evolution would suggest.
so we were apearantly seeded by exstraterestrials
the Anunaki appear in legends of almost all ancient civilizations ,from Africa,India ,China,babylonia ,and even Europe(england)
the Dragons ,Serpants ,Demons ,and Devils all represent them

the story of Adam was the symbolic story of the creation of this race (not just one man)

the snake in the garden of eden was Enki the only Anunaki who wanted humanity free and independent
and he was depicted as evil by the real evil Anunaki in power
their evil descendents the illuminati to this day try to control and enslave a large part humanity,by organised religion ,and keep them divided by the wars they create so that cultures can be more easily ruled .
but dont tell Christians this they have been programmed ,that this can never be true .

their denial of Aliens as forefathers or Gods is unreasonably and inexplicably violent,
even though Genesis and other historical accounts from all over the world suggest of exstraterestrial interaction at the dawn of civilization.

Answer 6

Missing link , no proof of either, my idea some 60,000 years ago, a version of us was placed here, not progressed much have we?and the originators gave up as a bad idea , must have, as look at the mess we are in

Answer 7

neither one. we branched off independently of one another lower down the tree. nowhere does the theory even suggest that man descended from monkeys. that claim about the evolutionary process is incorrect, anti-science, and pop cult-ure superstition. too bad more people don't investigate serious issues for themselves.

Answer 8

we evolved from an ancient ape. monkeys have tails, apes do not, nor do we.

Answer 9

Human Evolution, lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people evolved over a period of at least 6 million years.
Scientists have discovered the bones and artifacts of early humans in many parts of Africa and Eurasia. The earliest humans, known as australopithecines, lived only in Africa. The modern human genus, Homo, also evolved in Africa, but several middle and late Homo species migrated to Europe and Asia. Early forms of Homo sapiens, or modern humans, lived in Africa and Asia. Only fully modern humans populated the rest of the globe.
One of the earliest defining human traits, bipedalism—walking on two legs as the primary form of locomotion—evolved more than 4 million years ago. Other important human characteristics—such as a large and complex brain, the ability to make and use tools, and the capacity for language—developed more recently. Many advanced traits—including complex symbolic expression, such as art, and elaborate cultural diversity—emerged mainly during the past 100,000 years.
Humans are primates. Physical and genetic similarities show that the modern human species, Homo sapiens, has a very close relationship to another group of primate species, the apes. Humans and the so-called great apes (large apes) of Africa—chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called pygmy chimpanzees) and gorillas—share a common ancestor that lived sometime between 8 million and 6 million years ago. The earliest humans evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 million and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa.
Most scientists distinguish among 12 to 19 different species of early humans. Scientists do not all agree, however, about how the species are related or which ones simply died out. Many early human species—probably the majority of them—left no descendants. Scientists also debate over how to identify and classify particular species of early humans, and about what factors influenced the evolution and extinction of each species.
Fossil evidence indicates that the first humans evolved from ape ancestors at least 6 million years ago. Many species of humans followed, but only some left descendants on the branch leading to Homo sapiens. In this slide show, white skulls represent species that lived during the time period indicated; gray skulls represent extinct human species.
Early humans first migrated out of Africa into Asia probably between 2 million and 1.7 million years ago. They entered Europe somewhat later, generally within the past 1 million years. Species of modern humans populated many parts of the world much later. For instance, people first came to Australia probably within the past 60,000 years, and to the Americas within the past 35,000 years. The beginnings of agriculture and the rise of the first civilizations occurred within the past 10,000 years.
The scientific study of human evolution is called paleoanthropology. Paleoanthropology is a subfield of anthropology, the study of human culture, society, and biology. Paleoanthropologists search for the roots of human physical traits and behavior. They seek to discover how evolution has shaped the potentials, tendencies, and limitations of all people. For many people, paleoanthropology is an exciting scientific field because it illuminates the origins of the defining traits of the human species, as well as the fundamental connections between humans and other living organisms on Earth. Scientists have abundant evidence of human evolution from fossils, artifacts, and genetic studies. However, some people find the concept of human evolution troubling because it can seem to conflict with religious and other traditional beliefs about how people, other living things, and the world came to be. Yet many people have come to reconcile such beliefs with the scientific evidence.

Answer 10

niether we just share same ansestors
but closer to apes
