No, monkeys are another evolutionary branch from humans. They are closely related but not the same.
Both monkeys and humans are considered primates.
Well, Monkeys and apes are from the same ancestors. We are not from monkeys.
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.
humans evolved from a monkeys
It never started with monkeys. If they did, though, People would eat the monkeys and then the blood would be transfered to humans.
Because humans evolved from monkeys http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution
