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.
According to the fossil record it is not correct to say that humans evolved from chimpanzees?
Humans and chimpanzees, as well as all other animals, have been evolving over immense passages of time. Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor and since the time of that ancestor both primates have evolved for the same length of time. To our eyes the ancestor would have been similar to a chimpanzee but only because it would have been hairier and smaller than us.
What if your friend says that humans have evolved from apes How would you respond to that statement using the information provided in class?
Humans have not evolved from apes. However, science has established that humans and apes share a common ancestor and thus, are closely genetically related.
How would you know if organisms shared a common ancestor?
The closer the DNA pattern (the nucleotide base pairing), the closer the species from a common ancestor.
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.
Where would you go to find out if someone was your cousin?
You need to find out if you have a common ancestor, as this is what determines if you are cousins. If your common ancestor is your grandfather, you are 1st cousins. If your common ancestor is your great-grandfather, you are 2nd cousins. If your common ancestor is your grandfather and their great-grandfather, you are 1st cousins once removed. It can get complicated, so once you find your common ancestor, come back and let us know, and someone can tell you exactly.
What is a common ancestor?
a common ancestor is a species that multiple species share as the species they descended froma person born or that has lived before you and the word common means the same SO ....... its when you have the same descendant or person who lived before you or an ancestor that's the same
What would your husbands niece be to you?
You aren't related. You do not share a common ancestor.
What relationship would my first cousin's child be to my grandchild?
They would be second cousins, once removed. The descent is from a common ancestor. Thus 1st cousins share a grandparent as a common ancestor. 2nd cousins share a great-grandparent as an ancestor. If the descent from the common ancestor is not an equal number of generations, the inequality is expressed as 'removed' from the oldest generation being compared.
According to the theory of evolution how are humans and monkey's related?
You will have noticed that the great apes are similar in some ways to monkeys, but also similar in some ways to humans. That is because we are more closely related to the apes than we are to monkeys. Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor that lived around seven million years ago. This common ancestor was, in turn descended from an even more remote ancestor of all the apes. And, going back even further, there was indeed an ancestor common to both monkeys and apes.So the evolutionary gap is explained by the remoteness in time of our common ancestor. The process of evolution simply took us in quite different directions.
What species are humans closiest to?
Humans are closest to chimpanzees, with whom we share a common ancestor approximately 6-7 million years ago. Genetically, humans share around 98-99% of their DNA with chimpanzees.
Would your cousin's husband's cousin be considered your cousin?
Not unless you share a common ancestor.
