im stuck on the same question, heres the choices a.Hominoids b. australopithecines
Humans did not evolve from monkeys, and no evolutionary biologist has ever claimed that we did. Monkeys are related to humans, but not ancestral to humans. The species from which the human race most likely evolved would be some form of Australopithecus (which is now extinct).
Dinosaurs were on Earth before birds, humans, and monkeys. Dinosaurs existed from about 230 million years ago to 65 million years ago, while birds evolved from dinosaurs around 150 million years ago. Humans and monkeys diverged from a common ancestor around 25 million years ago.
Both monkeys and humans are considered primates.
Well, Monkeys and apes are from the same ancestors. We are not from monkeys.
Religious believers of creation say humans are made by God. Otherwise, neither; evolution does not teach that humans evolved from monkeys, but instead from ape-like creatures millions of years ago.
Monkeys are the closest thing to humans because monkeys were like humans in 12 BC
Monkeys were never humans. Now on the other hand chimps were. HAHAHA JUST KIDDING! Monkeys are not humans. Case closed.
Monkeys were the first evolution of humans.
Humans did not evolve from monkeys, but rather, humans and monkeys evolved from one type of organism. They have a common ancestor, something that has traits of humans and monkeys, but they went separate ways.
Humans share a common ancestor with apes and monkeys. Apes and monkeys are more like our cousins than our grandparents. Thus present day monkeys can not be our ancestors, humans can not be evolved from monkeys.
By using monkeys, scientists can find out more about primates and the evolution of humans (cause monkeys are related to humans).
Humans are related to monkeys because a primate mated to another type of species of primate and created humans. Therefore, we are related to monkeys genetically, though we are very distantly related to monkeys. And as you may guess, we too are primates. For more information, research about primates and how humans evolved.
