What "people believe" is irrelevant. It's what can be scientifically demonstrated that is important.
People generally do not hold that we evolved from monkeys, but that we share a common ancestry with modern apes.
However, we and the other apes also share a common ancestry with monkeys, and it is my position that that common ancestor, by all modern standards, would be labelled a monkey. Which means that, yes, indeed, not only do we share a common ancestry with apes and monkeys; science demonstrates that we evolved from monkeys, and thus are monkeys as well as apes.
Note that this is my personal position, and that there is no consensus within the palaeontological community yet, on this position. Many palaeontologists still define the clade of monkeys paraphyletically, meaning in other terms than that of an ancestor and all its descendants. They will therefore hold that, yes, we are apes, but we are not, nor did we evolve from, monkeys.
What else can I help you with?
Were you monkeys before?
No one can say for sure. Scientists believe that humans evolved from apes and monkeys. Religious groups believe that God created monkeys and humans separately. There is no specific evidence to support either of these claims, so no one knows whether people were once monkeys that evolved in time or not.
If people supposedly evolved from monkeys then why and how are there so many different races and nationalities?
If, people did evolve from monkeys, (i dont believe that crap), then there must have been different types of monkeys they evolved from. all monkeys cant live in the same place, they have to have certain things, depending where they live.
Why do people believe that men evolved from monkeys?
Because we have ape like feathers today. and that we have thunbs.
Do you really believe that we came from monkeys?
Humans did not evolve from monkeys, we evolved from higher primates, as did the monkeys.
Where did people come from?
Possible BeginningsSome believe that people evolved from monkeys, while others believe that we were placed on earth by God or a higher power. But most people believe that God made people evolve from apes.
When did you think that you evolved from monkeys?
We didn't. God created us, and there's no reasonable point to believe that we evolved from monkeys. It's just plain dumb.
What do you know about apes?
They are mammals, they are not monkeys but similar. They have no tails, they are pretty smart, there are different species of apes such as gorillas, orangutan's and chimpanzees and some people believe that we evolved from apes and some people don't.
What is the darwinist view of evolution?
he believes man evolved from monkeys, the opposite ie a creationism view is when you believe god created humans and we haven't evolved from a creature
Are you really made from monkeys?
humans evolved from a monkeys
If you came from monkeys where did they come from?
To put a complicated answer simply, primates evolved from lower species. It's incorrect to say that "humans evolved from monkeys"; rather, monkeys and humans both evolved from a common ancestor.
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.
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.
