allanphash7:[b]When you see questions like this you wonder how people cannot simply pick up books and read it even though you don't agree with it.. Even in this 21st century when you can simply download any book you want on your device as easy as breathing. Let me explain for education sake because i already see dozens on this thread who are exactly like the person who asked this question on facebook. According to the theory of Evolution: Man did not evolve from Monkeys only someone who never read evolution would assert so. It asserts Man and every other primates out there evolved from a common ancestor.. So man did not evolve from monkeys but rather both species branched off in the evolutional trend from one common ancestor. More like evolutionary cousins ... This is like asking Since if Cats evolved from lions why then are there still Lions. Cats and Lions are related not evolved from each other, they just branched off from one common amcestors People should read whether you agree with it or not just do so for knowledge sake because this is an eye sore..

Maybe evolusion has stoped or those 21st century monkeys have acquired an IQ that surpassess the evolution theory. I always vocalize a claime that atheism is a logical expression of haphazard state of confusion. Don't mind them, these atheists are confused. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

iamayodeji:Homo species are the evolutionary trend leading to modern man... The trend starts from Ardipithecus to Australopithecus before the homo(s) ... this particularly is the development trend of humans and is different from that of any other primate, others have their own branch or trend... 1 Like 2 Shares |

johnydon22: Hmmm. I have some questions. If monkeys and men originated from the same ancestor, what does this ancestor look like? Has anyone found the fossils? What happened to the monkey's intelligence? Why is it so poor compared to ours? Did the monkey not use it's intelligence for long? According to evolution, Man evolved from Australopithecus africanus > Homo Habilis> homo erectus> to homo sapiens.. (kindly correct me if I'm wrong) can.

bqlekan:Am not an evolutionist but i will answer none the less.. The distinctions pointed out here is exactly as the distinctions you can point out in a Dog and a wolf.. Adaptive mechanism, Mutation etc.. By the way Other apes like monkeys remains one of the few species known to utilize tools Yeah goes from Arpithecus ramidus to australopithecus aferensis, australopithecus Africanus, australopithecus boisei before the home speices.. And No i do not know the evolutionary trend of monkeys will be happy to read it here if anybody can provide it 1 Like 3 Shares |

Let me help. One smart monkey got away and evolved. Simple. Look at humans and explain why we have one person who we call gifted because of their level of intelligence. Then another person is mentally disabled. Now in evolution my understanding is that the former will out live the later. So the monkey's in the zoo have not quite got that level of intelligence but the monkey's in Hollywood for example are getting closer to being human. Lol. That's how my brain explains evolutionary stages Be open minded. Don't pick a team already. I'm just saying. bqlekan: |

HCpaul: Nope, evolution is still going on very slowly as we speak. Have you seen how new breeds of dogs are formed over time by artificial selection. That's evolution. Have you seen the way drugs like Amalar and Quinine stopped being effective against malaria? That's the malaria parasite evolving before our very eyes. So, no evolution hasn't stopped at all. 1 Like 1 Share |

This is a dumb question and johnydon22 is right on the money according to evolution, humans and monkeys share a common ancestor. Now, morphologically chimps are the closest you can get to humans and this was the origin of the theory of common ancestor. But this is total bullshiet. Here is why; monkeys branched off our common ancestors 25 million years ago while chimps only bolted 6 million years ago. This theory if true would mean we are have more genetic similarity between chimps and humans than between monkeys and humans, right? Wrong! We share about 93% genes with Rhesus monkey no different from the chimps. If this don't make any sense, consider this; bats and horses have more genetic similarity than horses and cows So genetic similarity does not tell you anything as such, how you interpret that information depends on your presumptions. If you are into Darwinism, higher DNA similarity will point to a COMMON ANCESTOR but to me a creationist, they point to a COMMON DESIGNER. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

bqlekan:Oh it was answered maybe it wasn't just the one you were looking for.. I pointed out to vital factors "Adaptive machanism and mutation" these are important factors in the distinction of organisms in evolutionary trend... Maybe you were expecting something else then i can't help you there. If all primates evolved from one ancestor, don't you think evolutionIt did, you just have to read it .. " Mutation, migration (gene flow), genetic drift, and natural selection as mechanisms of change; The importance of genetic variation; The random nature of genetic drift and the effects of a reduction in genetic variation; How variation, differential reproduction, and heredity result in evolution by natural selection" You just need to pay closer attention... I think evolution is not complete..Surely enough and this is one of my reasons for maintaining a sceptical position to most thesis. That branch of study is still under heavy study.. One thing you need to understand is that there is no dogma in science.. Science do not hope to achieve immutable dogmas but through Consistent study can reach a truthful approximation without at any point in time claiming absolute truth has been reached.. There are always room for doubt, learning and finding out more.. sure 2 Likes 3 Shares |
