if humans evolved from monkeys, then why are monkeys stil here? why dont they give birth to a human baby today

Question

im not saying that i believe in evelution - sheesh!

i'm asking everyone who DOES believe in it to respond to these questions in a way that proves evelution to be true.

and no, todd, i don't get your point!

Answer 1

your questions just don't have that much to do with evolution (the scientific theory, that is).

briefly, three main objections: 1) humans did not evolve from monkeys. 2) evolution does not predict that ancestral species MUST disappear. 3) speciation does not occur in great mutational leaps.

explaining the various errors and misconceptions in your question would not prove evolution, in any case: science is not a method for proving theories, it is actually about disproving theories. theories such as evolution which have withstood repeated attempts to disprove them are not considered 'proven' in any absolute sense. evidence may be discovered tomorrow that may disprove evolution (at least some aspects of it), but don't hold your breath, it's been around almost 150 years now. creationists appear to understand this, but invariably the evidence and arguments they produce as disproof of evolution has already been refuted decades or centuries ago. just saying that your argument constitutes disproof is not actually disproof!

Answer 2

How Humans came about from monkeys is realativley simple if you understand some basic biology. Chimps have a 2a and a 2b chromosome. These chromosomes fused together to form our 2 chromosome. After seeing DNA sequences the center region (centromere) are idenical matchs to those of chimpanzees, proving how man came from monkeys.

Onto the part about monkeys being around. Homo Erectus, the nanderthal are not around and we evolved from them as well. The key difference is that the Homo genus was a more land based, mobile organism, therefore it did not compete for resouces w/ its tree dwelling ancestors. Chimps by not competing w/ the genes Homo survied. Other members of the genus however did die off for it was forced to compete w/ other species sharing the same genus. We, Homo sapiens were the end result for our brain capacity was greater than that of other members of the genus, giving us an adavntage over the other members of the genus.

Now to explain what monkey only give birth to man in the National Enquire. The difference b/w monkeys and us is a great difference because of the number of intermediate species b/w us and monkeys. So many evolutionary steps have occured to turn monkey into man that a monkey just could not pop out a man. The reason that monkeys are not poping out new man-like species are because that species would need to undergo thousands of years of evolution. Mamals have ruled the eart for 65million years, thats a lot of time. humans have been here fore only a few thousand, so even though it is hard to believe a lot can take place in 65 millon years.

Answer 3

Humans in no way evolved from monkeys. This is a very common misconception of the theory of evolution. Evolution says that we evolved from a common ancestor, so monkeys and humans at 2 species that branched off at a specific time.

Answer 4

Do you somehow imagine this question is original? Here's my answer. Apes are not monkeys. Apes lack tails and are in general, larger and more intelligent than monkeys. Humans and modern apes have a common ancestor. Modern apes are distant cousins of humans. On the other hand, creationists are directly and recently descended from monkeys. You can tell this by their disregard for human inventions like rationality and fact.

Answer 5

the humans evolved due to a separation in the genes with the monkey, that why if you will look at the evolution tree monkeys and humans are separated because we have become a new differents species just like any living beings in this world, like the fowls and birds, they do both have the same physical features but their genes differ in terms of flying, fowls have wings but dont fly but birds do, like humans, humans consist of a more complex dna, and is more than 1 helix of chromosome than the apes.

Answer 6

Inbreeding, DNA damage from infections and environmental stresses, can reverse evolve a primate from a human. Humans did not evolve from primates, The scientific status quo of this world has not yet discovered the truth because they have learned everything that they understand and accept from books, not from nature itself. Mankind is cursed with the irony of human psychology, and the truth, like anything else that is lost, is always in the last place you look. James Mark Platt

Answer 7

Monkeys can't read those thermometers.Or count their cycles.Do I get banana points ,or what!

Answer 8

Because humans didn't evolve from monkeys.

Answer 9

humans didnt evolve from monkeys becuase GOD created humans i know scientists say that humans came from monkeys but if that is "true", then where did the monkeys come from?

Answer 10

If you parents bore you, why are you still here? I am so tired of these very ill posed questions. Go here.
