Attention evolutionists.?

Question

Since we evolved from monkeys, which species of monkleys did we evolve from. And why the hell are there still monkeys around.

Answer 1

I have never seen so much "CRAP" in such a small space of 'answers to a question'. You're all a bunch of "Cultist" evolutionists. Nearly all of you have mentioned the "common ancestor" of ourselves and the Chimp. But NONE of you have offered even a name, let alone what species or type of creature it was, The reason for that is that you have absolutely no evidence, WHAT-SO-EVER, that it IS the case. You insult the questioner,and all give each other 'thumbs up', as, no doubt at all, you'll swamp me with your 'thumbs down', like the 'blind faith' religious fanatics that you are.
Out of the abudance of fossil evidence available, there is not one shred of a 'mediatory' ("missing link") sample, to support the theory that us human beings evolved from the Ape. There are also MANY (non-creationist) eminent biologists, who also refute the 'theory of evolution'. Why do you think this is? And why do you think this question keeps popping up, which irritates you so much because you can't give a proper, honest answer to it? It's because more and more people are showing that they are not as stupid as evolutionists think they are. Everyone can see, plain as day, how absolutely flawed the whole theory is and how desperate evolutionists have become in their frantic efforts to brainwash everyone as they themselves, have become so severely brainwashed.
There are alternative theories, apart from evloution and it's opposition, creationism. We've just got to "re-think" the whole "Human Origin" subject, sensibly and logically, without being dazzled by and having absurd, unacceptable theories 'rammed' down our throats.
Time to wake up you evolutionists and GET REAL!!!!!

Answer 2

This isn`t to answer your question but to ask those posters here that mentioned the "common ancestor" , as do all evolutionists .

Evolutionists tell us this "common ancestor" is now extinct . If that`s a fact , then obviously they must know what it was exactly . What was it`s name ? What specifically did it look like ? Where can we see the fossilized remains ? What evidence of it`s existence do you have ? You obviously have proof , otherwise how do you know it`s extinct ? How else would you know it even existed ?

The idea the "line of apes" split into several lines , or it was a "line of apes" , or an "ape-like" creature" doesn`t constitute PROOF unless you`re talking to a 3 year old child .

I suspect no evolutionist can give a satisfactory answer to these questions . Why ? Because the "common ancestor" is a complete fabrication , without a shred of evidence that it ever existed . It was "made up" in order to give a "scientific" answer to questions evolutionists consider "embarrassing" .

Unless they can answer these questions and give concrete proof , I wish they`d stop referring to this mysterious "common ancestor" myth !

Why evolutionists blindly believe everything they`re told by "educated anthropologists" , and don`t consider digging for the facts themselves is beyond me !

Answer 3

We don't know which species of monkeys we evolved from; just that (in the more recent years) these were Old World monkeys. Our last monkey ancestor was about 23 million years ago. We share this ancestor with the apes. This monkey ancestor would not be identical to any of the species of modern monkey extant today.

Monkeys are still around because they are well adapted to the environments in which they live -- "good enough." We're descended from an isolated population, with different selection pressures than the main population was experiencing.

Monkeys today are not identical to the monkeys of 23 million years ago. They've certainly evolved.

Edit:
Tsumego and Lithium, we do indeed have monkey ancestors. It's been 23 million years, but if you had that ancstor from 23 million years ago sitting in front of you, you'd classify it as an Old World monkey. We call monkeys of that era monkeys.

Answer 4

Can you believe that we all evolved from bacteria when bacteria was the only living life form on the Earth? Weird, I know. Radical? I'll leave that to personal opinion.

This is nothing special and nothing new. we evolved from an ape-like organism or ancestral line of ape-like organisms yet we more or less are that organism adapted to a new environment. There were likely other species that either we branched out from or they branched out from us but if you go in and compare a human's DNA with an ape's DNA and many other organisms you'll see how we're related. Just by looking at apes you can tell there must be some connection.

Answer 5

I suggest you pay more attention to Yahoo Answers. This question gets ask 3 or 4 times a day. And we are still the decedents of a COMMON ancestor species. Monkeys are around cause they are a different species. Various species branched away from our common ancestor.

Why did you not learn the basics of evolution in your high school biology class?

Answer 6

Why is this so difficult to understand?

We didn't evolve from any species of monkey that's around today. All creatures, including monkeys, humans, and even amoebas, are equally evolved. We all share common ancestors.

The animal that is our closest cousin is the chimpanzee. We share a common ancestor with the chimpanzee about 5-7 million years ago.

Monkeys are more distant relatives. We share common ancestors with them about 20 million years ago.

You would do well to read Richard Dawkins's book The Ancestor's Tale, which explains all this in detail.

Answer 7

They say we evolved from chimpanzees. They also say we learnt to walk upright from wading through water...we are a different species of ape, so thats why the other species are still around

Answer 8

Why are people still asking this question which has been answered countless times?

It's called 'search for questions' use it.

We descend from a common ancestor, one in common with the great apes of today and humans. This ancestor is now extinct. We are related to modern day apes (we are classified as apes as well) but they are not our ancestors.

People who use 'evolve from monkeys' usually don't know what the difference is between an ape and a monkey.

Answer 9

We did not evolve from monkeys. We evolved from the same ancestor that all the great apes (such as chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, etc.) evolve from. We generally call these ancestors "hominids".

Divergent evolution occurs whenever a population is separated into multiple groups, and each group is subject to different environmental conditions.

For example, early humans in sunny Africa all had dark skin to protect against UV rays. Light-skinned humans in Africa tended to die of skin cancer because of their lack of protection, so the population remained fairly dark-skinned, on average.

However, as humans colonized cloudy northern Europe, the darker-skinned ones didn't get enough sunlight and died of rickets (vitamin D deficiency). Hence the populations of northern Europe evolved lighter skin (which allows more vitamin D production), leading to the differences in skin color you see today.

Answer 10

#1, you're an idiot.
#2, the specific specie's of monkeys we evolved from no longer exist
#3, modern monkeys split off in a different direction from us, as happens all the time with Evolution
