- Evolution is the change in populations, not in individuals.
- Evolution is not a process in which species universally progress up a "ladder".
- Humans are not descended from any modern species of monkey; both monkeys and humans are descended from some long-extinct ancestor pre-dating both. Although this species, if it were transferred to today, would be considered a "monkey", it is not any living species of monkey.
- Evolution explains how humans developed from a primate ancestor, but not an extant species of monkey or ape. (Modern primates include: bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, baboons, macaques, lemurs, gibbons, and humans. None of these is a descendant of any other.)
- Speciation can occur by branching into two or more reproductively isolated populations (cladogenesis) or when a single population changes over time to such an extent that the later population is considered a different species (anagenesis).
What else can I help you with?
Why are you from monkeys?
Monkeys were the first evolution of humans.
What was Darwin's evidence for evolution?
Monkeys
What do monkeys have to do with science?
By using monkeys, scientists can find out more about primates and the evolution of humans (cause monkeys are related to humans).
What do monkeys present?
Some would say evolution.
Why are woolly monkeys important?
they are the missing link in evolution
Who came before a man from evolution?
Monkeys / apes or homosapiens
Why have monkeys stopped evolving?
First of all, humans did not evolve from monkeys. This is a misconception made by people who have a simplistic idea of evolution. Monkeys and humans do share a common ancestor. I will answer the general question: Why does any organism evolve? Organisms evolve in order to better adapt to and survive in their environment. There is a natural competition for survival and that's what drives evolution. Our ape ancestors were becoming more intelligent, and evolution favors intelligence.
How has evolution changed people?
People went from being monkeys to humans.
What are common misconceptions about evolution?
Common misconceptions about evolution include thinking that it is a random and purposeless process, that humans evolved from monkeys, and that evolution is always a slow process. In reality, evolution is a non-random process driven by natural selection, humans did not evolve from monkeys but share a common ancestor, and evolution can occur rapidly in response to environmental pressures.
Are killer monkeys real?
No, they are not.
Is evolution a linear progression or a tree?
Evolution is more of a tree. For example, humans are not descended from the monkeys you or I would see today, nor did they somehow turn into humans. Instead, modern monkeys and humans share a common ancestor that eventually split into several different species. Another argument sometimes heard is, "If humans came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys around?" This is because there was no linear progression of monkeys towards humans. A small group of ancient monkeys gathered more and more mutations until they were different enough from the original monkeys to be considered a different species. Note that no where in this example did the original species disappear; they still lived on while a few changed.
Are sea monkeys real creatures?
Yes they are real.
