What is the chance of people evolving from apes?
According to evolutionary theory, people did not evolve from apes; both arose from a common ancestor. It's not something that can be given a clear statistical chance because there are so many unknown variables (resource availability, birth rate, predators, etc.). The relationship of a common ancestor can be found in the coding and non-coding DNA of apes and humans. It can also be found in the geographical distribution of hominoid fossils. If you mean the chance of people evolving from apes presently, it's not going to happen. A human won't one day come out of an ape. The only possibility is if there were conditions where apes with more "human" qualities survived better than "normal" apes. Then, over many many many generations, there could be a possibility of a more human-like species. It would almost certainly have different DNA and would not be a human.
Are humand direct descendants of modern day apes?
No, although they have a common ancestor
Which characteristics do scientists to use to group species?
Scientists use Ancestors and DNA to group DNA.
Which 2 continents are apes native to?
There are great apes in Africa and Asia.
What is the second tallest of the apes after gorillas?
Gorillas aren't the tallest apes, humans are.

What unique substance does the nucleus chloroplast and mitochondria have in common?
DNA is found in all three.Mitochondria and chloroplasts have circular DNA.
Are you desended from apes?
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution suggest that, yes, we are indeed descended from common ancestors of the apes. Later archaeological and DNA findings support his theory of evolution. However Christians or other religious people believe otherwise.
Myths about the origin of a man?
That we came from monkeys or apes, we came from a common ancestor from 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.
Do you agree hat man is from the apes?
No. There was a common ancestor that gave rise to both man and the apes.
Where we apes?
The theory says we may have been because of evolution evidence and close DNA
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.
Where can nucleic acids be found?
In the hereditary information of DNA and RNA is a common place, in the chromosomes and center of cells
Are apes from human descendant?
Yes. We're not just descendant from them, we are apes (and therefore must logically also be descendant from apes). Of course we're not descended from any modern species of ape: we share a common ancestor with the other modern apes, which would also have been an ape.
What is the difference between apes and human?
About 1.5% DNA, mostly in the speech areas of the brain and throat.
On which rocks are barbary apes found?
Barbary apes are found on the Rock of Gibraltar. Known as Barbary macaque, these primates are a species of Old World monkey that are native to Africa and Asia. Barbary apes are tailless.
