What other hominids evolved from the same common ancestor as human?
homminids evolved from the same common
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.
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.
Were Humans made from Gorrilas?
NO please read the bible ======================== No. The closest primates to humans are chimpanzees. We all (humans, chimpanzes, gorillas, and other primates) evolved, over millions of years, from some common ancestor, but anthropologists have not yet identified that common ancestor.
What of these was not a characteristic of hominids that lived before humans?
One characteristic of hominids that did not exist before humans is the ability to create and use advanced tools. This skill of crafting and utilizing tools is a unique trait that distinguishes humans from other hominids.
Humans and other humanlike creatures that walk upright?
Hominids
Did man and ape have a common ancestor?
An 'ape' is any primate belonging to the superfamily Hominoidea, and this includes humans, so we 'are' apes, along with gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans. All these species though have a common ancestor.
Is it true that we all started off as gorillas?
No. Humans and gorillas evolved from the same common ancestor, but one did not come from the other.
How have hominids evolved over years?

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 name for human like primates who lived about 4 to 6 million years ago?
Most scientists believe our common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Then two species broke off into separate lineages, one ultimately evolving into gorillas and chimps, the other evolving into early humans called hominids.
What were humans before they were human?
Humans evolved from earlier hominid species, such as Homo habilis and Homo erectus, which in turn evolved from a shared ancestor with other primates like chimpanzees. Before humans, our evolutionary ancestors were bipedal primates that gradually developed larger brains and more complex social structures over millions of years.
