What prehistorical creature did apes evolve from as cats of today large and small evolved from the Sabre toothed tiger?
Cats did not evolve from sabertoothed tigers. Rather, sabertoothed cats evolved from other cats. Modern apes evolved from miocene apes, which were somewhat similar. Miocene apes evolved from some lemur-like primate, or perhaps something like a lorise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loris
How did humans become descendants of apes?
Either the question that you've asked is incorrect, or I really don't know how to answer it. Mammals have been evolving quite rapidly since the obliteration of dinosaurs (or since 65 million years ago). Evolution of more ape-like creatures kicked off at around this time. The oldest known Primate fossil is around 60 million years old. So, from the more ape-like looking creatures, us humans evolved. Ahha, I finally found a flaw. We aren't descendants of apes. We ARE apes. We're usually dubbed as (of course among humans) the fifth apes. Chimps, who are our close cousins, continued to look like the apes that we've evolved from. Whereas we shed out body hair, and started walking on two feet. Those few (well, they might be few but were of extreme significance) events led us here.
Which 2 continents are apes native to?
Apes are native to Africa and Asia. Africa is home to apes such as gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos, while Asia is home to orangutans and gibbons.
Differences between monkey and ape?
Monkeys typically have tails, while apes do not. Apes are generally larger and have a more robust build compared to monkeys. Apes also tend to have larger brains and more complex social behavior than monkeys.
How did gibbons apes get their name?
Gibbons apes are named after the British zoologist Thomas Geine Gibbs who classified and studied these apes. The term "gibbons" is used to refer to certain species of small, slender, long-armed apes found in Southeast Asia.
Are baboons and gorillas ancestors of humans?
Baboons and gorillas are not direct ancestors of humans. Humans share a common ancestor with primates like baboons and gorillas from millions of years ago, but they are not direct descendants of these species. We share a more recent common ancestor with great apes like chimpanzees and bonobos.
Are apes from human descendant?
Yes. We're not just descendant from them, we are apes (and therefore must logically also be descendant from apes). Of course we're not descended from any modern species of ape: we share a common ancestor with the other modern apes, which would also have been an ape.
Did apes come from black people?
Not exactly. 'Black people' are an ethnic group of modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens. Homo sapiens is a species of Great Apes. Therefore, you, and all other humans, regardless of ethnicity, came from apes, are apes, and produce more apes.
Why did Charles Darwin think humans were apes?
Darwin was the father of natural selection. He believed in evolution. But he never said he believed humans were apes or that they necessarily used to be apes. He never applied his theory to humans. Darwin did think that we were apes he had all of his therories and other research written and others found it
Are apes and humans classified as hominids?
Hominid - the group consisting of all modern and extinct Great Apes (that is, modern humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-utans plus all their immediate ancestors).Hominin - the group consisting of modern humans, extinct human species and all our immediate ancestors (including members of the genera Homo, Australopithecus, Paranthropus and Ardipithecus).

Are neanderthals apes?
No, Neanderthals were a distinct species of the Homo genus, closely related to modern humans. They are not classified as apes, which are a different family of primates that includes gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans.
What is the single most misunderstood relationship between apes and man and evolution?
That modern humans evolved directly from modern apes. This is quite incorrect because both modern humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor - the most recent common ancestor was between 5 and 7 million years ago. Each followed its own path of development, both becoming more complex over time but in their own ways.
Who inspired rise of the planet of the apes movie?
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is based in part on Conquest of the Planet of the Apes - which details the rise of the intelligent ape Caesar. The difference between Rise and Conquest is that in Conquest Caesar was taken back in time (as demonstrated in Escape from the Planet of the Apes) while in Rise Caesar is born in modern day.
How was mankind created evolution or biblical?
All the evidence indicates modern man evolved from earlier apes.
What evidence support the idea of species of australopithecines were intermediate forms betweens apes and humans?
They appear to fit the classification of an intermediate form. They are bipedal and have similar dental structure to modern humans, but with a significant reduction in brain size - only slightly larger than modern apes.
What is the ancestral hominid that is most closely related to modern humans?
It has not be found and is called "missing link".
