If you had spelled it 'monkies', I could have taken two shots. ;-)

You show your lack of understanding of Evolution
We didn't "Evolve" from monkey's. We and monkeys have a common ancestor. The reason why there are monkeys and humans is because we developed differently from that common ancestor. Evolution = Random Mutation + Natural selection.

Without going in a long, complicated post, I will give the reasoning for that now:
Monkeys, as well as every single life on this planet, have different strains of DNA and are a totally different species than the next.

the theory as i understand it is that humans evolved from a great ape who lived in africa near the oceans. the act of eating fish(which is supossed to be brain food) began to change the brain causing these animals brains to change drastically growing in size. also being on the shore there was less chance to hide and less shelter there for the conditions were right that these being evolved into a smarter ape who adventually found that walking up right was more effecient, there the physical changes happened to the form to acommadate this upright position. the monkeys that are here today did not have the right conditions to evolve into us there for they are monkey, great apes, whatever.
anyway that is how i understand darwins theory, if its not correct please let me know i like to learn new things.

we didn't evolve from monkeys
bot humans and monkey evolved from the same distant ancestor--we just took different paths
try to refute evoution all you want, but then try to explain why we have 98% in common with chimps
what's wrong with believing in both god and evolution? if you do believe in god, think about it this way--god supposedly created the world in 6 days. and 6 days to god is a hell of a long time to us humans.
time is relative in the bible. a day could refer to a full year when applied to a nation, a week could mean 7 years. a day is often describes as being a thousand years. it's relative. there's no clear cut idea of time in the bible. who says 6 days to god wasn't billions of years on earth?

Basically, they claim (yes: claim) that humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor, not that we evolved from monkeys.
Of course, it's all nonsense, but yet they'll still claim it. We know that God created man from the dust of the earth, no evolution needed.

Haha.................... good question !!!
But I think we never evolved from monkeys because if we did we should've been still living on the trees n doing weird acts like our ancestors instead of living in high rise buildings n apartments.

some monkeys evolved because they moved to a new environment, some didn't and stayed monkey.

hahahah, you just failed Science class 101.
If you'd payed attention in Science class you'd know that you are asking a question with no answer, since humans did not evolve from monkeys but a common ancestor.

We evolved from an ape-like creature that was related to both us and other present day simians. At some point millions of years ago our family trees separated and became the species they are today.
