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.
Are monkeys related to humans?
Yes, we both evolved from a common ancestor (which no longer exists).
How the human beings derivated from monkey?
They aren't, not in that sense. But way back when there was a creature that was a common ancestor to both the current apes and to humans.
What is the single most misunderstood relationship between apes and man and evolution?
That modern humans evolved directly from modern apes. This is quite incorrect because both modern humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor - the most recent common ancestor was between 5 and 7 million years ago. Each followed its own path of development, both becoming more complex over time but in their own ways.
Did you evolve from chimpanzees?
Considering humans and apes share 98% of their DNA, it is highly probable that we evolved from apes. Althoug humans may have evolved from apes, it is more likelt that we are both descended from a common ancestor.
How closely are orangutans related to humans?
yes, essentially all primates are. they are both apes
How is a chimpanzee like a gorilla?
They are both apes, and along with humans, monkeys, and lemurs, they are both primates.
Did people ivolve from monkeys?
No, that is a common misconception. We didn't evolve directly from monkeys, but we do share a common ancestor with monkeys. We also share many similarities with them, the first being we are both primates. Humans not only share a common ancestor with monkeys, but with every single organism on Earth. While humans and plants may not seem to have anything in common, we share a common ancestor with them that dates back billions of years. Humans evolved from prehistoric apes a few million years ago, who were much like modern apes, but not exactly. Unlike any other primate alive today, these apes began to walk upright. This evolutionary milestone would help pave the way for future human evolution.
Did God make humans or did we revolve around apes?
They're both true.
Why do people think humans originate from monkeys?
Scientists don't think humans evolved from monkeys. They do believe that humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but they don't believe we evolved from apes either. Humans and modern African apes both evolved from a common ancestor. The understanding of human evolution comes from the evidence presented in the fossil records and similarities found with genetic research. Many scientists believe in Darwin's theory of evolution which states that organisms evolve over time to be able to adapt to the changing environment. He based his theory on the birds in the Galapogos Islands. There were birds on the mainland and on the island that were or used to be the same species, but the birds on the island had different features. They had these different features because of their environment. That is why some scientist believe humans evolved from monkeys, they think we learned to stand up straight and use weapons because it would ensure better survival in our environment.
Did neanderthals look like apes humans or both?
Have you ever heard of Google images?
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.
