He didn't, humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor.

Are humans actually just monkeys?

People did not evolve from monkeys. This is not the belief of creationists or evolutionists. Claims that people evolved from monkeys come from a popular misconception and oversimplification of the theories of human origins developed from the fossil record.Creationist belief on the origin of man:Monkeys are part of God's creation, just like people. It says in Genesis 2:7, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." (New King James Version [NKJV]) Unlike evolutionary theory, there is no scientific evidence for creationism.Evolutionist belief on the origin of man:Humans are evolved from an ape-like ancestor. The evolutionary paths of man, monkeys, and other modern primates split millions of years before any of these species as we know them today existed. Our evolutionary predecessors are extinct, but these species, notably members of the genus Australopithecus are believed to be much more closely related to us than monkeys.The exact details of the evolutionary line of humans is still debated, but monkeys are not on it.Evolution and the world:Nearly the entire scientific community of the world believes in Darwin's theory of Evolution, It is taught in nearly all western schools and in most middle eastern schools and nearly all Asian schools, except perhaps for religious schools. Pope John Paul II even accepted the theory of evolution although God was involved in the process.Further information on human origins can be found in the related links below.


Did humans evolve from a monkey?

Charles Darwin did not think that humans evolved from monkeys. Rather, he believed, based on many years of research in the fields of biology and comparative anatomy, that anatomically similar species such as humans, apes, and monkeys probably evolved, over a period of many thousands of years, from a common, ape-like ancestor, now extinct. Recent studies in biology and genetics, using techniques not available in Darwin's time, have confirmed and further clarified his theory. In order to gain a further understanding of Darwin's thinking, you might want to look up "Charles Darwin" and "Evolution" in a variety of encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin). High School and College textbooks of biology may also cover this topic with more or less completeness. Many fine books have also been written on this subject, including Darwin's "The Origin of Species and the Descent of Man" and the fine biographical novel, "The Origin," by Irving Stone.


What will be the chance of human evolution in the absence of monkey?

None. Humans are per definition both the descendants of monkeys and monkeys themselves. Had monkeys not evolved, then man could not have evolved, anymore than a grandson can exist whose grandparents did not.


How did humans evolve from homo sapiens?

We ARE Homo Sapiens, and haven't evolved away from it yet.


Did humans evolve from cows?

Tempting as the thought might be - no. Humans didn't come from cows-as-we-know-them. But cows and humans are both vertebrates and placental mammals, so way back when there is a common ancestor. A fairly small mammal that branched off time after time- One line eventually turning out cows and another eventually turning out humans.

Did humans really evolve from monkeys?

yes


Do you really believe that we came from monkeys?

Humans did not evolve from monkeys, we evolved from higher primates, as did the monkeys.


Why do monkeys still exist?

Humans did not evolve from monkeys, but rather, humans and monkeys evolved from one type of organism. They have a common ancestor, something that has traits of humans and monkeys, but they went separate ways.


How do you use the word evolve in a sentence?

I think monkeys evolve from humans or some other things.


Are monkeys related to humans?

Yes, we both evolved from a common ancestor (which no longer exists).


Did dogs really evolve from bears?

No, they evolved from humans,bears,cows and monkeys!


how did ape/monkeys envolve to humans?

Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees or any of the other great apes that live today.


Do biological science have a contradict about humans evolving from monkeys?

Humans did not evolve from monkeys, and no evolutionary biologist has ever claimed that we did. Monkeys are related to humans, but not ancestral to humans. The species from which the human race most likely evolved would be some form of Australopithecus (which is now extinct).


Did humans come from monkeys?

Humans did not evolve from modern monkeys. Both humans and modern monkeys share a common ancestor that lived millions of years ago. The theory of evolution suggests that over time, humans and modern monkeys evolved separately from this common ancestor into the distinct species we see today.


How is it possible that you are related to monkeys?

First of all, no one is related to a monkey by blood even if we act like it! God did not make monkeys to turn into Humans but monkeys are just creatures even though they are very smart. If monkeys turn into Humans, then why are there so many monkeys still around and why aren't they turning into Humans. They will never turn into Humans because God has a plan for them and he has a specific plan for us too... to teach other about Him.


How do monkeys act around humans?

usally when monkeys are around humans they are either calm because they've been around them long enough to trust them or; if they are wild they will run away or try to face the human. monkeys are only 2% monkey the rest of them is human. so that means humans are proven to evolve from the monkeys.


Do humans come from appes?
