If humans evolved from apes and monkeys why are they still here?

As an analogy, you can liken this to how most Americans are decended from Europeans... yet there are still Europeans We did not evolve from today's monkeys and apes. We have a common anscestry with them Evolution acts like a tree. It splits.

Let's say we have one group of animals, and something happened to split the population... a flood, group split due to size, lack of food, whatever... If the two groups don't interbreed, mutations build up in the subsequenct generations and causes speciation, ego we end up with multiple groups of species which all came from one species We see the intermediary speciation in horses, zebras, and donkeys. They can still interbreed, but the outcomes are usually sterile. Given more time, horses, zebras, and donkeys will no longer be able to produce any offspring at all.

First, I am not going to give you the common brush off to your question: "We didn't evolve from monkeys, monkeys and humans share a common ancestor". That's just avoiding the question, and frankly, I don't agree with it. I'm going to assume that when you say "monkey," you not only include those animals called monkeys that are alive today, but also animals that looked and behaved like monkeys that lived millions of years ago.

An animal that lived about 40 million years ago, known as Aegyptopithecus, is believed by scientists to be a direct ancestor of humans. If I saw that animal swinging through the tree branches today, I'd certainly call it a monkey. I'm going to go one step further and assume that you are using the term monkey even more colloquially, and include chimpanzees and gorillas under the general umbrella of monkeys.

Technically those are apes, but since they are non-human primates that are indeed decended from monkeys, let's go ahead and let that one by. So below, I'm going to cover a scenario whereby humans might have evolved from apes, while leaving apes still existing. Before I continue, though, let's clear one thing up.

It is natural to think of humans as "more evolved" than other animals, but this isn't true in any scientific sense. We are differently evolved, simply adapted to a different environment. It so happens that our intelligence, and the culture and technology that it spawned, has turned out to allow us an unprecedented degree of success, and the ability to live in environments that our ancestors couldn't.

But evolution didn't somehow anticipate this.

Human don't come from monkey. We are related to monkey. Instead of human evolve from monkey, human and monkey may came from same ancestor There isn't a specific end result in evolution.

Humans branched off from some sort of ape, but that doesn't mean that all of the apes must evolve into humans. Some evolved into gorillas, some into chimpanzees, others became orangutans, and so on............. CLEARLY this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Monkeys are monkeys man is man created for their specific purpose in life given to them by GOD.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. That is not to be taken lightly. All of science, comprehension, understanding, and imagination cannot possibly conceive GOD and the works of his mighty hands.So instead of foolishly trying we should live by the law he set for us.

You would be much happier I promise. Jehovah king of reality itself are you in good hands.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
