Evolution query

[Tekla]

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

[happy_face]

good question. Maybe they too in a few hundred years will have evolved after all many of them are extinct.

Humans still evolve and maybe in a few hundred/thousand years we might be able to fly. .......wonder if this is why there are Bingo Wings, are these ladies evolving quicker I wonder....hmmmm..

They are still in the process of evolving after all what did monkeys and apes evolve from and what will we all end up as. Evolution may well be an unending process.

the way things are going in a thousand years there will be tons of primates and no humans.

But evolutionists will quickly point out the error in your statement. Homo sapiens sapiens, in their opinion, did not evolve from apes or "monkeys", each are a separate branch of Hominids that had the same ancestor somewhere in their development. Rather like the branches of a tree having the same roots but producing similar but distinct branches and sub-branches... Sahelanthropus tchadensis, the oldest Hominid fossil so far is said to be well over 6 or 7 million years old, while the oldest examples of Homo sapiens is about 195,000 years old... with examples of truly modern man appearing about 40,000 years ago...

To simplify, humans share a common ancestor with apes very far back in our history, we did not evolve from them!

Thanks folks.

Gawd!!
We did not 'evolve from ape' we evolved from 'ape like creatures'
