Human don't come from monkey. We are related to monkey. Instead of human evolve from monkey, human and monkey may came from same ancestor.

---

There isn't a specific end result in evolution. Humans branched off from some sort of ape, but that doesn't mean that all of the apes must evolve into humans. Some evolved into gorillas, some into chimpanzees, others became

orangutans, and so on............. CLEARLY this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Monkeys are monkeys man is man created for their specific purpose in life given to them by GOD. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. That is not to be taken lightly. All of science, comprehension, understanding, and imagination cannot possibly conceive GOD and the works of his mighty hands. So instead of foolishly trying we should live by the law he set for us. You would be much happier I promise. Jehovah king of reality itself are you in good hands.

In the theory of evolution, it is thought that man and other primates (including monkeys) have evolved from more primitive versions. No theory of evolution actually believes that we literally are the offspring of modern day monkeys.

Please consult with your Biology teacher for a fuller explanation, or check out a basic biology text book from your local library. Wikipedia's section on evolution may be of aid, too.

The question is similar t o"If my neighbour came from Detroir why is Detroit still there?" Evolution does not mean one species, where ever they are, wakes uop one morning with all of its members converted to something else. IT means that members of one group developed characteristics that were inheritable and gave them a better chance to survive.

We share an almost identical dna structure, it is theorized that man evolved from ape through thousands of years of evolution of a relative of the ape, our shared relative.

Is the peoples become from monkeys?

I assume you are alluding to the theory of evolution here - then, yes. No offense to religious people out there...but, yes. We share 99% of out DNA with apes. People did not evolve from monkeys - if that were true, there wouldn't be any monkeys! Rather, humans and monkeys both evolved from an earlier common ancestor, now extinct.


Who evolved from homo sapiens?

No one, since we are homo sapiens and we are still here


Why are Jews still here?

same reason that any humans are here.


Why are monkeys still her?

I don't know who she is, so it is hard to say why monkeys are still her. Perhaps she can't stop being monkeys or (due to their less evolved nature) they can't stop being her. If you are asking why monkeys are still HERE. Well, look at it this way- my grandmother came from Ireland to America and had ten kids. Each of them had 3-5 kids and most of them had kids as well as well. That is a legacy of over a hundred offspring from one woman. In a few more generations it will be in the thousands. All of those offspring call themselves "Irish Americans". Yet no one has ever looked at them and said, "If you came from Irish people, then how can there still be people in Ireland?"


Were cavemen monkeys?

Not except in the same sense that modern humans are monkeys. The phrase "cavemen" doesn't really have a precise biological definition, but it's usually used to mean "primitive humans". Sometimes it's stretched a bit, and might be used to refer to any species in the genus Homo, or possibly even genus Australopithecus, but none of these would be classified by biologists as "monkeys". In fact, they're more closely related to us than gorillas are, and even gorillas aren't monkeys... they're apes (humans are, biologically speaking, part of the same family as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans... the hominidae, or "great apes")


How do spider monkeys get here?

Spider monkeys get here because they are found in the forest and then sent here in a plane


Where did early humans live?

Early humans lived in various parts of the world, including Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. They adapted to different environments such as grasslands, savannas, forests, and caves to survive and thrive. Their ability to adapt and innovate played a key role in their migration and settlement patterns.


What was here before humans?

it depends if you are religious or not but i believe it was the un-evolved humans and other prehistoric creatures including dinosaurs and other very ancient animals that are mostly all extinct now.


If man evolved from monkeys why are monkeys still here?

Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but we didn't evolve from apes, either. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe this common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Shortly thereafter, the species diverged into two separate lineages. One of these lineages ultimately evolved into gorillas and chimps, and the other evolved into early human ancestors called hominids.Homo Sapiens (Humans) genetically are still about 98% chimpanzee. Different species branched off and evolved differently according to the conditions around them. We either adapt or become extinct. In a way, one could say that humans are just one of the monkey-type species that still exist today.---Same reason bacteria, fish and other ancient lineages are still here, there is still a niche they fill adequately. Evolution doesn't necessarily replace the previous forms, just as you didn't replace all of your cousins, they just went their own way.---We didn't.The DNA overlap between humans and pumpkins is 75%. We share 93% with fruit flies. We are not pumpkins. We are not fruit flies. We are not monkeys.The human genome has around 3 billion base pairs, each of which stores two bits (to indicate one of four bases).That's 6 billion bits. 6,000,000,000 (6 Billion) x.02 (2%) = 120,000,000 (120 Million)That's a lot to work with. The majority of DNA just tells cells how to build, replicate, and function. So while every living thing has similar building blocks, that does not make them the same creature (or evolved from the same creature.)---Evolution theory is the best theory we've got to explain the fossils and similarities between species. However, this doesn't go along with the Bible and creationism so people (like the one who wrote the answer above) who are theists don't like to believe in evolution. They usually like to affiliate evolution to 'man evolved from monkeys' and define it like that. Actually man just has a common ancestor with other primates. All creatures originally evolved from the same species, according to the theory of evolution.---Funny, the Bible and Creationism was never mentioned in that post. Nowhere in your anti-religion rant did you bring any actually argument, backed by scientific, historical, or theistic evidence. You've effectively bastardized the Spark Notes of Darwin's theory of evolution, minus correct punctuation.---There isn't a specific end result in evolution. Humans branched off from some sort of ape, but that doesn't mean that all of the apes must evolve into humans. Some evolved into gorillas, some into chimpanzees, others became orangutans, and so on.We evolved from apes, not chimpanzees as such. Chimpanzees belong to the same subfamily as us (Homininae). They are the closest living evolutionary relatives to humans and we have 94% identical DNA to them.

How did bullfrogs get to the US?

What did the lizard evolve into?

It is believed that snakes evolved from lizards. Lizards are an existing group of reptiles, of course, so did not 'evolve into' anything else--they are still here. While mammals and birds evolved from reptiles, they did not evolve from lizards.
