where are all the half human -half monkeys? shouldn't we have these monk-ples if the monkeys evolved into us?

Answer 1

Where have you been Elvira ? The half humans-half monkeys are all around us ! ............... They`re more commonly known as evolutionists . They`ve proved they exist by their theories .

Answer 2

I think it is necessary to read and see the evidence. That is what this question is about. The asker points out a good fact, even though the main point may be incorrect to people who believe speciation occurs through evolution,ie, we "evolved from apes not monkeys". So, where is the evidence? You say there are some bones found that meet this criteria, such as....Lucy, whose bones look like an ape that could stand up right. This is not a human ancestor, as it can be disputed that all of the skulls and bones that were supposedly in the line of human descendants could just be apes. I am very familiar with those arguments, have studied them, have seen pictures of the bones and I am not convinced. These are not facts but theories that are up to each individual to assess and decide if they want to take a leap of faith and believe these ape bones are human or that they are just ape bones. Theories are meant to be disputed and disproved.

Answer 3

Well, as the other posters already said we did not evolve from monkeys, we are related to monkeys through a common ancestor that both lines came from. I think your question about half-human half-monkey is referring to species that are in between the common ancestor we share with monkeys and modern humans. All of these species are called hominids. Do some research into Australopethicines and species from the Homo genus. These transitional species existed at one time millions of years ago but eventually changed into something that was better suited for the environment, eventually evolving into humans.

Answer 4

I hate to be so contrary to those I generally agree with but the ignorance in evolution seems to be very common in those that agree with it as well as those that don't. I understand that I also am ignorant in that there if far more I don't understand than I understand. In fact there was a monkey millions of years ago that lost its tail. It became an ape. That ape evolved into a bipedal ape. That bipedal ape went on eventually to evolve into us. So we do have a monkey in our ancestry and we do have apes in our ancestry. We just don't have chimps and gorillas or spider monkeys. The transitional forms were generally replaced by the survivors. Even if, for example, we had an animal similar to a gibbon in our ancestry. It would have been twenty million years ago and that animal would have evolved somewhat in that time. It could be that an animal substantially similar to a gibbon lived throughout that time but it is doubtful.

Answer 5

No: It's a genetic factor. Say, a chicken has 13 genetics steps in their line while a duck has , say 17 while the factor is way off, it won't work.

In the first place were not related to the monkey or any other primate, we have a parallel line with the chimpanzee and have many traits that are the same, this is the only differences between us. Walking up-right, being able to use your hands and opposable digital reflexes, etc, that's about all.

Answer 6

Monkeys didn't evolve into humans. Gaah! I'm sorry, but if creationists want to keep trying to disprove evolution, you should at least have a working knowledge of evolution. This has been answered here about a million times. Monkeys and humans had a common ancestor. You are not descended from cousin Sue, but the both of you are descended from grandpa Joe. We have lots of skeletons of species that came between that ancestor and us, though the fossil record isn't complete. Read up on evolution before you try to disprove it, please, or at least read prior debates on the exact same freakin' subject.

Answer 7

Humans are more closely related to apes than to monkeys. Try reading a book on the subject.

Answer 8

first of all what ur emplying is some religiouse crap that im rele tired of hearing...
second of all if you ever payed attention in Biology class then you would realize that we DID NOT evolve from monkeys.
The Truth is that we share a common ancestor so that explains why primates and ourselves are the few that have useable thumbs and the fact of our tail bones

p.s. dont wrry im not being rude 2 you, just the people telling you that we evolved from monkeys

Answer 9

monkeys did not evolve into humans. humans and apes and monkeys all evolved from a common ancestor.

Answer 10

If man evolved from monkeys and apes, then why do we still have monkeys and apes?

If a parsley farmer loses a lawsuit, do they garnish his wages?

If a lion eats a clown, will it taste funny?

If you shoot a mime, do you use a silencer?

Answer 11

wrong. our species and monkies/apes evolved from a common ancestor and branched out seperatly on the evolutionary tree. we each fill our own ecological niche so we both continued to evolve and exist today.
