Baboons belong to a part of the primate family called "Old World Monkeys" and Chimpanzees belong to a part called "Hominidae" (or the Great Apes). Both Hominindae and Old World Monkeys share a common ancestor, but after that the families branch off and continue on separate evolutionary paths. Baboons and Chimpanzees are very distant relatives, and neither one evolved from the other.

∙ 11y agoThey are both primates so if you go far enough back in time they would have a common ancestor. Baboons are monkeys and gorillas are apes, so the two branches of these primates split long ago.

Did gorillas evolve from humans?
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees. 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.
What did the Ptarmigan evolve from?
From grouse-alike bird, common ancestor of ptarmigans, grouses and capercaillies.
Why did god evolve monkeys into humans?
Many scientists believe that humans and monkeys share a common ancestor, but it was not an intentional evolution by a god. Evolution is a natural process driven by genetic variations and environmental factors over millions of years.
Do organisms evolve slowly over time and can two different organisms have a common ancestor?
Yes they evolve slowly over time and a panda and raccoon have common ancestors.
Did humans evolve from chimps?
No. Both groups evolved from a common ancestor, which was neither a chimp nor a human.
Did people evolve from gorillas?
According to the theory of evolution, more complex animals develop over time from simpler ones. This would indicate that humans and gorillas, who share many traits, had a common ancestor which was neither a human nor a gorilla, but a simpler form of both. This ancestor would have lived millions of years ago, because the process of evolutionary improvement within a species is a very slow one. Many new species could not compete, or otherwise died off.
Is it rue that humans have not descended from chimpanzees but do have a common ancestor with them?
Yes, that's correct. Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor that lived several million years ago. While humans and chimpanzees have diverged along separate evolutionary paths since then, they still share a significant amount of genetic material due to their common ancestry.
Which is the living being that stays between men and monkeys in evolution?
Men and monkeys are concurrent organisms that had a common ancestor. Men did not evolve FROM monkeys so there's nothing in between. If the question is "which living animal is more closely related evolutionarily to humans than monkeys" then the great apes (gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees) would qualify.
How might evolution theory account for this phenomenon?
Evolutionary theory can account for the phenomenon of a new species. This is because different species can evolve from a common ancestor.
Did humans evolve yes or no?
yes all animals evolved from a "common ancestor" and are still evolvingrelationships between all animals are summarised in "trees of life" that propose possible scenaris of evolution according to available scientific datas.You can visualise on them when divergence occured between animals from a common ancestor
Are monkeys related to humans?
Yes, we both evolved from a common ancestor (which no longer exists).
If evolution is true then why there is no species excisting in between chimpansie and human?
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, rather both humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. A division happened with this common ancestor....some went on to become chimpanzees and some went on to become modern humans. There are common ancestors to both humans and chimps, but they are long extinct.
