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.
What is phylogenetic line?
An ancestor-descendent line; the sequence of ancestral taxa leading from some point in the ancestry through time to a specific taxon. For example, our complete phylogenetic line would include all taxa that are in the ancestry of both apes and humans as well as all taxa ancestral to modern humans from the time the human line split from the ape line.
Can you give me the answer human can came from ape?
This is something that is often misunderstood. Humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor. Humans did not 'come' from apes.
What does the principle of common descent imply about humans?
Apes and humans descended from the same common ancestor.
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 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.
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.
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.
Theory where the 1st human came from?
Humans came from a common ancestor with apes. Not directly.
What is wrong with the statement 'monkeys evolved into humans?
Humans share a common ancestor with apes and monkeys. Apes and monkeys are more like our cousins than our grandparents. Thus present day monkeys can not be our ancestors, humans can not be evolved from monkeys.
How long did it take for humans to mutate from apes?
The process of humans evolving from ape-like ancestors took millions of years. This evolution occurred over a period of approximately 6-7 million years.
Are you an ape?
We are all apes and we are closely related to the other apes.
