Yes, humans and bats share a common ancestor. Both humans and bats belong to the group of mammals, which evolved from a common ancestor millions of years ago.

Is it rue that humans have not descended from chimpanzees but do have a common ancestor with them?

Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees. According the the theory of evolution, all types of organisms share a common ancestor. Those "basic" species evolved into other species. So humans and chimpanzees are descended from a common primate ancestor Humans decended from a common ancestor, one of which evolved to the chimps and the other to humans. So we are therefore the 5th ape. All living things share a universal common ancestor as we are the products of evolution by natural selection. And there are skeletal remains to prove it.


Why did god evolve monkeys into humans?

Many scientists believe that humans and monkeys share a common ancestor, but it was not an intentional evolution by a god. Evolution is a natural process driven by genetic variations and environmental factors over millions of years.


Do humans and frogs share a common ancestor?

Not since the birth of vertebrates. Humans are mammals and frogs are amphibians. However, some research has shown that it is possible that some animals from different Orders have mated, so it is possible that we share a more recent ancestor. In response to demands that God made them and that's that, this is established biology. God may have made them, but that doesn't change the facts.


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.


Are baboons and gorillas ancestors of humans?

Baboons and gorillas are not direct ancestors of humans. Humans share a common ancestor with primates like baboons and gorillas from millions of years ago, but they are not direct descendants of these species. We share a more recent common ancestor with great apes like chimpanzees and bonobos.

Are bats related to humans?

Bats and humans are both mammals, but they are not closely related in terms of their evolutionary history. Bats belong to the order Chiroptera, while humans belong to the order Primates. Both groups have a common ancestor, but they evolved along separate paths over millions of years.


What evidence suggests that humans and bats have a common ancestor?

For one, both humans and bats are in the class Mamalia, which is reason enough to suggest that they come from a common ancestor. The modern classification system, developed by Linnaeus, and modified by scientists such as Darwin and Lyell, is based of common ancestors. So, all mammals come from a common ancestor. How do we know this? Well, all mammals share a peculiar trait: All mammals are completely indistinguishable at the pre embryonic stage. This proves that bats and humans come from common ancestry.

Were Humans made from Gorrilas?

NO please read the bible ======================== No. The closest primates to humans are chimpanzees. We all (humans, chimpanzes, gorillas, and other primates) evolved, over millions of years, from some common ancestor, but anthropologists have not yet identified that common ancestor.


If evolution is true then why there is no species excisting in between chimpansie and human?

Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, rather both humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. A division happened with this common ancestor....some went on to become chimpanzees and some went on to become modern humans. There are common ancestors to both humans and chimps, but they are long extinct.


Humans and gorillas have one different amino acid in their hemoglobin sequence. What does this say about the evolution of these two species?

Answer this question… They probably have a recent common ancestor.


Did man and ape have a common ancestor?

An 'ape' is any primate belonging to the superfamily Hominoidea, and this includes humans, so we 'are' apes, along with gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans. All these species though have a common ancestor.
