Considering humans and apes share 98% of their DNA, it is highly probable that we evolved from apes.

Althoug humans may have evolved from apes, it is more likelt that we are both descended from a common ancestor.

The human species evolved from apes. Chimpanzees are a type of monkey, and the major differences between monkeys and apes is that monkeys have tails and apes do not. For example, the gorilla is an ape and it does not have a tail. In the same way, humans do not have tails either.

there is a HUGE debate about that and the thing is.... i dont believe it is true i mean if we evolved from apes then we would see apes turn into people all the time also they say we evolved from apes because our D.N.A. is 99% the same but we have 86% same D.N.A. as a banana (not kidding) so to say that we did would be a lie:) but it is all a personal opinion. for exsample it is just like god:) some people believe in him and some dont it is all a personal prefrence.

Primates include humans, because we are a type of primate. We also evolved from primates. Fossil evidence shows part of the evolutionary history that led from quadrupedal primates to bipedal, large brained humans.

Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, rather both humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor.
