Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but we didn't evolve from apes, either. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe this common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Shortly thereafter, the species diverged into two separate lineages. One of these lineages ultimately evolved into gorillas and chimps, and the other evolved into early human ancestors called hominids.
Homo Sapiens (Humans) genetically are still about 98% chimpanzee. Different species branched off and evolved differently according to the conditions around them. We either adapt or become extinct. In a way, one could say that humans are just one of the monkey-type species that still exist today.

Same reason bacteria, fish and other ancient lineages are still here, there is still a niche they fill adequately. Evolution doesn't necessarily replace the previous forms, just as you didn't replace all of your cousins, they just went their own way.

We didn't.
The DNA overlap between humans and pumpkins is 75%. We share 93% with fruit flies. We are not pumpkins. We are not fruit flies. We are not monkeys.
The human genome has around 3 billion base pairs, each of which stores two bits (to indicate one of four bases).
That's 6 billion bits. 6,000,000,000 (6 Billion) x.02 (2%) = 120,000,000 (120 Million)
That's a lot to work with. The majority of DNA just tells cells how to build, replicate, and function. So while every living thing has similar building blocks, that does not make them the same creature (or evolved from the same creature.)

Evolution theory is the best theory we've got to explain the fossils and similarities between species. However, this doesn't go along with The Bible and creationism so people (like the one who wrote the answer above) who are theists don't like to believe in evolution. They usually like to affiliate evolution to 'man evolved from monkeys' and define it like that. Actually man just has a common ancestor with other primates. All creatures originally evolved from the same species, according to the theory of evolution.

Funny, the Bible and Creationism was never mentioned in that post. Nowhere in your anti-religion rant did you bring any actually argument, backed by scientific, historical, or theistic evidence. You've effectively bastardized the Spark Notes of Darwin's theory of evolution, minus correct punctuation.

There isn't a specific end result in evolution. Humans branched off from some sort of ape, but that doesn't mean that all of the apes must evolve into humans. Some evolved into gorillas, some into chimpanzees, others became orangutans, and so on.
We evolved from apes, not chimpanzees as such. Chimpanzees belong to the same subfamily as us (Homininae). They are the closest living evolutionary relatives to humans and we have 94% identical DNA to them.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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
Did monkeys evolve into humans?
Rather than existing in a hierarchical relationship, monkeys and humans evolved from a common ancestor. In other words, they branched off and evolved separately.
Why is man not a animal?
Men aren't intelligent animals just an advanced evolved version of monkeys. However in the catholic religion men are considered to be made first.
Are sea monkeys real or are they man made?
Sea monkeys are not man made they are a type of brine shrimp
When was The Man Who Evolved created?
The Man Who Evolved was created in 1931-04.
If humans evolved from monkeys why are they still here?
Human don't come from monkey. We are related to monkey. Instead of human evolve from monkey, human and monkey may came from same ancestor.---There isn't a specific end result in evolution. Humans branched off from some sort of ape, but that doesn't mean that all of the apes must evolve into humans. Some evolved into gorillas, some into chimpanzees, others becameorangutans, and so on............. CLEARLY this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Monkeys are monkeys man is man created for their specific purpose in life given to them by GOD. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. That is not to be taken lightly. All of science, comprehension, understanding, and imagination cannot possibly conceive GOD and the works of his mighty hands. So instead of foolishly trying we should live by the law he set for us. You would be much happier I promise. Jehovah king of reality itself are you in good hands.
Did God make other creations also in his likeness?
God created only the man in is likeness, blessed him with the power of intelligence, wisdom and to create. . Even though monkeys have 99.9% identical DNA and there is definite proof for the theory of evolution where man evolved from apes.
Was the monkeys paw man vs nature?
It was man vs fate.
What are some man-made features of Tanzania?
some of the man made features of tanzania are the houses they built. Stuff like that and there are other things in tanzania that still need to be discoverd.
What are the main species of early man?
monkeys!!!!!!!!!
Who is smarter monkeys or boys?
monkeys are smarter than boys. boys were born without a brain monkeys have AND use there brains last night i watched deal or no deal and the monkey made a better deal than the man!!!!! and boys are alwys in jail like monkeys but the monkeys still live better!!!
