Answer 1

A well thought out and articulated question! Congratulations, you must be so proud!

Answer 2

The only monkeys you see in Australia are in zoos (or visiting American fundies). The Wallace line separates the placental mammals of Asia from the marsupials of Australia. This line is a permanent water boundary between the two which means that the only non-marine placentals in Australia are bats (which flew in) and some rats and mice which could have arrived on floating vegetation.

Interestingly, the Wallace Line is named after Alfred Wallace an English naturalist who was working in Malaya in the 19th century. He came to much the same conclusions as Darwin and their papers on evolution were read jointly to the Linnaean Society in 1858.

Both Darwin and Wallace put years of research and thought into their papers and their hypotheses were the best explanation of what was going on. Evolution has been mofified with more information, especially genetics, but it is still the only credible explanation for the variety of species. It is a shame that those who cry against evolution are not prepared to spend any time in research or thought.

If you learned to read, you would be able to read the works of Darwin and Wallace and other scientists and get an understanding of the amazing process of evolution - one of the most robust scientific theories there is.

Answer 3

There may be monkeys in the Darwin zoo, but since I have not been to Darwin since 1980 I would not actually know. However I have given this question some consideration over the years and have come to these conclusions. 1. Humans and modern apes have a common ancestor. 2. Creationists are descended from less intelligent monkeys.

Answer 4

No
1) Darwin is a city located in the northern (top) part of Australia and is the capital of the Northern Territory in Australia.
2) Charles Darwin was a ninteenth century scientist. He came up with the theory of Evolution.

Answer 5

I really love all the other answers I have read to this question! But want to add that by the sounds of it...YOU ARE a monkey!

You DO know that the Darwin section of Yahoo Answers actually pertains to Darwin the capital city of the Northern Territory of Australia...not Charles Darwin the evolutionary theorist?

Answer 6

Darwin`s theory of evolution is correct, whether all sub-species of humans evolved from the same "monkey" is not certain. The uncertainty arises with the previous assumption that humans evolved from "Lucy", the discovery of "flat faced man" threw the metaphorical spanner in the works.

Answer 7

We didn't come from monkeys, we came from Australopithecus Afarensis--Lucy! There is no intelligent designer. There are only the laws of physics. Though admittedly, the laws do believe in cause and effect on a certain macro level.

Answer 8

That's a very Darwinian question indeed.
Given that the human race is millinia in age and that the oldest known ape is beyond that again, (according to educated theory) then it stands to scientific scrutiny that Christmas will indeed fall every December 25th.

Answer 9

NO
NO
NO
NO and
NO!

Darwin is NOT a monkey.

Darwin is a city in Australia and it is the capital city of the Northern Territory.
Cheers

(this is the TRAVEL section after all)

Answer 10

Hmm Darwin huh? I think he was only 1/2 right lol cheers~

Answer 11

Evolutionary theory posits that man and apes descended from a common ancestor, NOT that we came from monkeys.
