This is the cartoon version of evolution. No actual scientist believes that. No science book says that.

This is the cartoon version that creationists like to promote because it is easy to ridicule.

Scientists don't believe that men came from monkeys, but rather than modern humans and modern monkeys came from a common ancestor. This is a *very* different statement.

It is a different statement because it gets you away from that image that monkeys are "unevolved humans", which is absurd. Monkeys are *fully evolved monkeys*. They are every bit as highly evolved as we are ... just as well adapted for their environment as we are.

Please stay away from anybody or any book or any web site that gave you the cartoon version of evolution. They are trying to deceive you.

May be you are right.In Ramayana a well known Hindu Epic all monkeys fighting on behalf of the hero Rama-like Sugriva,Hanuman etc are monkeys and Sukriva's Brother(Enemy) Vali is also monkey.But the wives(like Taara) of Vali, Sugriva and other monkeys are human beings!!!.

We did not come from monkeys or apes. imagine about the prospect persons truly evolving from some sub species. If math and technological understanding flow hand and hand lets communicate about some info real quick. those are ruff info so do no longer attempt to remark decrease back and say those are incorrect. there is perhaps a billionth of a probability that a cellular will mutate and reason some thing new. that you would see in those with down syndrome or some thing actual disorder. it really is in elementary words one cellular that mutated for the more severe and brought about some thing incorrect. that's exactly what ought to ensue if any sub-human were to evolve. So there's a billionth of a probability for that to ensue in a unmarried cellular. The human body is made from trillions upon trillions of cells. So each body of those cells ought to ought to mutate by ability of the years to type what we are now. Plus if even one project went incorrect lets be fully ineffective. it really is insanity to even trust that lets evolve from any decrease life type than we are now. Even Darwin himself says if there is now fossil heritage to coach that we developed his concept is inaccurate. Has there been a fossil heritage as a lot as on the present time to coach that we developed? No. There hasn't so there remains no evidence that people ever developed. Why does everybody trust people even developed? i'm no longer some massive creationism recommend yet there is not any reason people had to evolve. Does all of us question if a fowl replaced right into a fowl a million years in the past? everybody in basic terms blindly believes they were. There are one thousand billion issues that ought to flow incorrect in a unmarried cellular to evolve. Plus ingredient what percentage cells ought to ought to adapt it really is mathematically no longer possible. maximum everybody is committing to organic probability. it really is in basic terms stupidity. If the earth replaced into even a inch closer or an inch added faraway from the sunlight than it really is as we talk no life ought to stay in the global. If even one inch out of the trillions of inches that it takes to get to the sunlight counts. Why does no longer one off the trillion cells count number? i'm performed attempting to coach why we did not evolve from apes. i ought to write a e book on motives why we did not. i'm no longer attempting to assert what i trust is ideal all i'm attempting to assert is do no longer stick to so blindly what different persons imagine.

i think that statement is wrong. humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor

I think that you have to study more. You are not entirely wrong, but you still lack a grasp on all of the details.

DERIVATIVES manless adjective ORIGIN Old English man(n), (plural) menn (noun), mannian (verb), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch man, German Mann, and Sanskrit manu ‘mankind.’ USAGE Traditionally, the word man has been used to refer not only to adult males but also to human beings in general, regardless of sex. There is a historical explanation for this: in Old English, the principal sense of man was ‘a human being,’ and the words wer and wif were used to refer specifically to ‘a male person’ and ‘a female person,’ respectively. Subsequently, man replaced wer as the normal term for ‘a male person,’ but at the same time the older sense ‘a human being’ remained in use. In the second half of the 20th century, the generic use of man to refer to ‘human beings in general’ (: reptiles were here long before man appeared on the earth) became problematic; the use is now often regarded as sexist or old-fashioned. In some contexts, terms such as the human race or humankind may be used instead of man or mankind. However, in other cases, particularly in compound forms, alternatives have not yet become established: there are no standard accepted alternatives for manpower or the verb man, for example.

I hope I helped! hehe
