Best Answer

According to the theory of evolution, originally proposed by Charles Darwin in his book "The Origin Of Species" human beings and monkeys are both descended from earlier primate species. Monkeys, according to this theory, would be more accurately described as our cousins, than as our ancestors.

So actually, nobody has said that people come from monkeys. That would be a misrepresentation of evolutionary theory.

Why are monkeys still her?

I don't know who she is, so it is hard to say why monkeys are still her. Perhaps she can't stop being monkeys or (due to their less evolved nature) they can't stop being her. If you are asking why monkeys are still HERE. Well, look at it this way- my grandmother came from Ireland to America and had ten kids. Each of them had 3-5 kids and most of them had kids as well as well. That is a legacy of over a hundred offspring from one woman. In a few more generations it will be in the thousands. All of those offspring call themselves "Irish Americans". Yet no one has ever looked at them and said, "If you came from Irish people, then how can there still be people in Ireland?"
