Is a monkey human?

Question

im learning about caveman and my teacher told me human are monkey is that true or not true.

Answer 1

Both the monkey and the human are in the order primates, so she may have been referring to that. They are both certainly not the same species, if that is what you are asking.

Answer 2

Humans are not monkeys. Neither a Christian nor a scientist will tell you humans are monkeys.

Here's how it works: "Donkeys" are one species. "Horses" are another species. "Humans" are a species. "Monkeys" are a species. You can tell that two animals are the same species if they can have a baby together-- and that baby is capable of having more babies.

A donkey and human are different species. They can't have babies together. A donkey and a horse are different species. They can have babies (called "mules,") but mules can't have babies. You'll learn about this in sex ed.

A human and a monkey can't have babies. That means they're not the same species.... It means the a human is not a monkey.

Here are some things that humans can do that no animal can do:
- speak a complex language
- laugh

Here are some things that humans and some monkeys/apes can do, but no other animals can do:
- understand symbols
- think abstractly
- use tools

Okay. Now for your vocabulary.

When your teacher says "caveman" and "monkey," she is wrong. But she's probably just trying to keep it simple.

First, it's not "monkeys." It's "apes." Monkeys have tails, and apes don't. Humans EVOLVED from apes, and I think that's what she's teaching you about.

EVOLUTION says that all the animals and humans EVOLVED from simpler animals. Now, picture an ape. The ape is kinda dumb. It has paws and it walks hunched over. Now, over millions of years, this ape's children and grandchildren are born with less hair, with thumbs, with bigger brains. If you were to take a great-great-great-great-great grandchild in a time machine and took him back to the time of his mother, he would not be able to make babies with his mother because he has become a different species.

"Caveman" is not a scientifc word. When the ape's great-great-great grandchildren were born with brains so big they knew how to use tools, they were a species called "homo hablis." When their great-great-great grandchildren were born with straight backs instead of hunched ones, they were called "homo erectus." A while later, their great-great-great grandchildren were born with even bigger brains and even less hair and a different skull shape, and that species is "homo sapiens." That is what you and I are. We can make babies together.

Answer 3

a million. We did not evolve from monkeys. We progressed from a complication-loose ancestor with the apes. 2. All evolutionary adjustments are, are adaptions. it somewhat is it. permit's say there have been Chimps in Africa and Chimps in Europe. permit's say there became right into a climate exchange in Africa. faster or later the Chimps in Africa would desire to be seen a distinctive species after adequate evolutionary adjustments take place. those in Europe might nevertheless be changing at a typical %.. 3. we will not evolve back into something. I have not any theory the place the hell you purchased this myth from.

Answer 4

No, humans are a type of ape, which is different to monkey. We are in the same category as Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Orang Utans.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Only those running our government and sitting on our Supreme Court

Answer 8

No, they share similar characteristics but humans are homo sapiens and monkeys are not homo sapiens

Answer 9

no- straightly. your teacher may referring to the Darwin's theory... but there are a lot of arguments about that dogmatic statement.

Answer 10

By definition, no. They are different species.
