Apparently, the brain growth associated with walking made the difference. Opposable thumbs also help.

How did humans evolve so quickly compared to other species?

Humans evolved quickly compared to other species due to a combination of factors such as bipedalism, increased brain size, tool use, and social cooperation. These adaptations allowed early humans to efficiently adapt to changing environments, develop complex societies, and outcompete other species.


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.


Is a human?

A member of the genus and especially of the species sapiens.Humans are mammals. Humans evolved from primates


Did humans evolve from humans?

Modern humans, the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens, evolved from Homo heidelbergensis, our common ancestor with Neanderthals; neither group evolved from the other, but are instead "sibling" species.All humans, the genus Homo and the species it includes, evolved from the initial Homo habilis, itself evolving from a non-Homo australopithecine species, apparently Kenyanthropus platyops but other possibilities occur.


If Darwin believed we came from apes then where did apes originate from?

Charles Darwin believed that apes evolved from earlier, more primitive species, which in turn evolved from even earlier species. Ultimately, all mammals, including the apes and humans, evolved from the first mammal species, which in turn evolved from earlier species, and so on back to the beginning of life on Earth.


Are we really monkeys?

No. Humans and monkeys evolved from the same ancestor, but they are two completely different species.


Were dogs ever human?

No, humans and dogs have evolved from different ancestors, they are completely different species.


How do you determine whether species were extinct or evolved for example prehistoric man isn't considered extinct because it has evolved to modern humans while dinosaurs consider extinct?

dinosaurs arent extinct just like humans they evolved into birds and lizards


What is a human?

A human is a member of the Homo sapiens species, characterized by bipedal locomotion, complex language, and the ability to think abstractly. Humans are known for their advanced cognitive abilities, cultural diversity, and adaptability to various environments.


Did aliens introduce humans or a different species in the ancient times?

Although this is theoretically possible - no, they didn't. Every singe species of animal on this planet, humans included, have been proven to have evolved from ocean creatures that evolved as a result of bacteria forming in rainwater caused by volcanic steam.


How can humans be related to monkey's when there are still monkey'sin the world?

Millions of years ago, there was a species that is the common ancestor of apes and humans. The range of that species was split somehow. One part of the population evolved into humans. The other part evolved into apes. Hence, the apes and monkeys that are alive today are not our direct ancestors, but our evolutionary cousins.


Is it possible for another species of animal to evolve like humans?

Whales once had legs and lived on the land. They evolved from a terrestrial ungulate (most likely) known as a mesonychid. Snakes also once had legs. Bats gradually evolved wings and the ability to use echolocation (sonar). Human evolution was pretty minor compared to these other creatures. We evolved skill with language. That seems pretty minor, to me, compared to the ability to fly and snatch bugs out of the air in the dark. Bats are amazing creatures.
