Instead, monkeys and humans share a common ancestor from which both evolved around 25 million years ago. This evolutionary relationship is supported both by the fossil record and DNA analysis. A 2007 study showed that humans and rhesus monkeys share about 93% of their DNA.

Do chimps and humans have almost the same hemoglobin?

Yes, in fact, they have about 99% of the same hemoglobin. This may be why scientists think humans evolved from monkeys, apes, gorillas, and/or chimps (chimpanzees).

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.

Do monkeys like humans?

Humans are not monkeys but humans are like monkeys! How? Well monkeys have one pair of feet and so do humans. Monkeys have one pair of hands and so do humans. Sometimes monkeys even act like humans but humans don't mind because most humans love monkeys. Some are visious like some humans are and some are nice. They choose there own actions like humans do. That's why monkeys are like humans. They have a life like ours! Monkeys have almost a face like the humans, I think they all have the same amount of teeth, They both of five toes and five fingers, the same tpye of hands, the feet are alike but the humans toes became smaller the toes little closer to each other and the large. they both have nails

I think it did happened. My teacher says it a theory that humans evolved from apes. My mother said it's a fact. Everyone has their opinions.


What is the order in which humans evolved?

I think you're looking for a monkey-chimp-human sort of answer. However there is not a order in which humans evolved (and are evolving). Humans are most closely related to chimpanzees, followed by gorillas and then orangutangs.Not Orangutang->Gorilla->Chimp->Human.What I am saying is that the common ancestor of chimps and humans was around more recently than the common ancestor of humans and gorillas, which was more recent than the common ancestor of orangutangs and humans.After the close relatives you get monkeys then lemurs. Followed by rodents and then the rest of the mammals.
