What is Jane Goodall's ancestry?
She is related to the great apes.
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.
Why did Charles Darwin think humans were apes?
Darwin was the father of natural selection. He believed in evolution. But he never said he believed humans were apes or that they necessarily used to be apes. He never applied his theory to humans. Darwin did think that we were apes he had all of his therories and other research written and others found it
Are humans with tails strengthen Darwin's Theory of Evolution?
Our vestigial tail, the coccyx, shows that we have common ancestry with primates ( monkeys ) that have tails. We, the apes, have vestigial tails preforming some other function than the tails did in monkeys. So, the theory of evolution by natural selection, which posited common descent, would be supported by such a piece of evidence.
How were humans created eg apes monkeys or god or evolved on our own?
The best supported theory, ie the one with the most evidence, is that humans and apes both evolved from a common ancestor.
Why do people believe we evolved from monkeys?
What "people believe" is irrelevant. It's what can be scientifically demonstrated that is important.People generally do not hold that we evolved from monkeys, but that we share a common ancestry with modern apes.However, we and the other apes also share a common ancestry with monkeys, and it is my position that that common ancestor, by all modern standards, would be labelled a monkey. Which means that, yes, indeed, not only do we share a common ancestry with apes and monkeys; science demonstrates that we evolved from monkeys, and thus are monkeys as well as apes.Note that this is my personal position, and that there is no consensus within the palaeontological community yet, on this position. Many palaeontologists still define the clade of monkeys paraphyletically, meaning in other terms than that of an ancestor and all its descendants. They will therefore hold that, yes, we are apes, but we are not, nor did we evolve from, monkeys.
Why do Whites look like apes or Rhesus Monkeys?
All humans share common ancestry with monkeys, so it is only logical that as a species, we should resemble monkeys. Caucasians are not the only ones.
Do apes have souls?
Scientifically speaking, there's no evidence of the soul even existing. So no, sadly, Apes do not have souls.
Did monkeys devolop into humans?
No. Human evolution is a cladogenic process as far as we can tell. That is to say that we share common ancestry with monkeys who split into species which lead to modern apes of which we are one of the great apes of Africa. About 6-7 million tears ago the last common ancestor of both chimpanzees and humans gave rise to the two different species that you see today.
Myths about the origin of a man?
That we came from monkeys or apes, we came from a common ancestor from apes.
Do you agree hat man is from the apes?
No. There was a common ancestor that gave rise to both man and the apes.
Do you believe that a man came from apes. why did not?
Man did not originate from apes per se, rather we share a common ancestor with them. This is a common misconception about evolution. Humans evolved to fit their environment, apes evolved to fit theirs.
