I think you're looking for a monkey-chimp-human sort of answer. However there is not a order in which humans evolved (and are evolving). Humans are most closely related to chimpanzees, followed by gorillas and then orangutangs.
Not Orangutang->Gorilla->Chimp->Human.
What I am saying is that the common ancestor of chimps and humans was around more recently than the common ancestor of humans and gorillas, which was more recent than the common ancestor of orangutangs and humans.
After the close relatives you get monkeys then lemurs. Followed by rodents and then the rest of the mammals.
no humans were apes that had over time evolved to humans
Nothing evolved from humans. As of now, we are the highest on the evolutionary chain. At least, for now we are.
Humans (Homo sapiens) are a part of the Animal Kingdom, and belong to the order of primates.
they evolved into humans.
how do rabies spread
To put a complicated answer simply, primates evolved from lower species. It's incorrect to say that "humans evolved from monkeys"; rather, monkeys and humans both evolved from a common ancestor.
Humans evolved from apes. So Apes came first.
they havent gone extinct they have just evolved into humans
Okay first of all, humans did NOT evolve from monkeys or anything like that. So there were NO plants that became dominant as humans evolved. Evolving is for dummies!! :0)
Africa.
-because thats where humans evolved
Because we evolved the way we did.
