All mammals have a long and complex lineage. The first mammals branched off from reptiles about 200 or more million years ago. Apes evolved from an ancient group of possum-like tree mammals millions of years ago. These mammals diversified 65 million years ago after the death of the dinosaurs, branching off into all the different mammals of today. One group of mammals took to the trees, developing long tails, opposed thumbs and flat faces, eventually becoming apes.

Well, they evolved from a guy named Kenyapithecus, who was the common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans. He was a quite primitive, unspecialized ape. The chimpanzee is about as advanced from him as a human is. He lived about 15,000,000 years ago in East Africa. Ardapithecus, our direct ancestor, is his descendant. Australopithecus came from Ardapithecus; you can see possibly how in the fine film "2001: A Space Odyssey."

Many people believe against it, but I think that yes, humans came from apes, probably chimpanzees or bonobos.

What evidence is against humans evolving?

If we're evolving and evolved from monkeys or apes then why is there still monkeys and apes. We did not evolve from apes or monkeys. We branched off a common line. Humans did not evolve from apes. Humans and apes had a common ancestor . Apes evolved in one direction and we evolved in another. We probably looked a lot alike at first.


What prehistorical creature did apes evolve from as cats of today large and small evolved from the Sabre toothed tiger?

Cats did not evolve from sabertoothed tigers. Rather, sabertoothed cats evolved from other cats. Modern apes evolved from miocene apes, which were somewhat similar. Miocene apes evolved from some lemur-like primate, or perhaps something like a lorise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loris


What are you evolved from?

Well people say that humans evolve from monkeys but life on Earth has evolved through billions of years through small microorganism's. Also humans didn't evolve from apes, we evolved from a common ancestor but we just evolved in a different way to apes due to environment e.g. food, predators etc

darwin This was in his work 'The Descent of Man.'


Did humans evolve from animals?

Yes, humans are classified as animals and have evolved from earlier primate ancestors over millions of years through the process of evolution. The theory of evolution explains how all species, including humans, have descended from common ancestors through natural selection and adaptation to their environments.


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.


Why are there apes if humans evolved from them.?

evolution - apes continued to evolve as well. We came from all mamals, reptiles etc... each species continued to evolve into its own lines. All dogs came from the selective breeding from wolves, and wolves continue to exist.


How was mankind created evolution or biblical?

All the evidence indicates modern man evolved from earlier apes.


Can apes ever evolve into some human like creature?

If you believe Darwin's theory you evolved from one but it's just a theory and subject to opinion
