An 'ape' is any primate belonging to the superfamily Hominoidea, and this includes humans, so we 'are' apes, along with gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans. All these species though have a common ancestor.

∙ 11y agoYes, humans and apes have a common ancestor. The last common ancestor between humans and other apes is estimated to have lived between six and eight million years ago. Because it is a comparatively recent field of science, and because it is a difficult field, it is difficult to assign a specific time frame or species to the common ancestor. Perhaps the closest recognized species is Sahelanthropus tchadensis.

It is true that the man came from an ape?
no. man did not come from apes but we do have a common ancestor with them. Both created by the one true God!
Did Darwin claim man evolved apes?
An 'ape' is any member of the Hominoidea superfamily, which includes lesser apes like the gibbon, and the greater apes, such as chimps, gorillas and humans. This kind of relation shows that all of these share a single common ancestor. This ancestor is what we evolved from.
Can a man and an ape have offspring?
Technically, Man is a species of ape. The other species of ape and Man are very closely related. And if two species are related closely enough (as with, for instance, donkeys and horses), they might be able to produce hybrid offspring. Of course having a recent enough common ancestor in itself is not a guarantee that it is possible for Humans and Chimps to hybridize, but it might still be possible.
When did the separation of man and ape from a common unnamed ancestor occur?
The last common ancestor between the genus Homo and the genus Pan is estimated to have lived between six and eight million years ago. Because this field of study is so comparatively recent, and is such a difficult one, it is yet difficult to assign either a specific time frame or species to the last common ancestor.
Were we monkeys before we became human?
Not directly; Humans evolved from an ape-like ancestor who lived around 7 million years ago. These ape-like creatures shared a common ancestor with monkeys who lived around 20 to 30 million years ago.
Can you give me the answer human can came from ape?
This is something that is often misunderstood. Humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor. Humans did not 'come' from apes.
Who proved man grown from monkey?
That's not it. Best current science can figure out both humans and apes share a common ancestor. That ancestor was neither human nor ape, but led to the development of both. This has a lot to do with the theory of evolution, and the one most well-known in relation to that is Charles Darwin.
Where do the evolution man came from?
Man's evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in the population of men, just like all evolution is. This is the fact on which Charles Darwin based his great theory of evolution by natural selection which showed that all organisms, including man, are descended from common ancestry. Your ancestry is ape, as you are of the ape( primate ) family of organisms that arose in Africa. The human branch splitting from the common ancestor with chimpanzees about 6 million years ago.
Who are the ancestors of chimpanzees?
Chimpanzees share a common ancestor with humans, which lived around 6-8 million years ago. This common ancestor is believed to be a species of chimpanzee-like ape that gave rise to both modern humans and modern chimpanzees.
Do you agree hat man is from the apes?
No. There was a common ancestor that gave rise to both man and the apes.
When was Man-Ape created?
Man-Ape was created in 1969.
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.
