According to evolutionary theory, people did not evolve from apes; both arose from a common ancestor. It's not something that can be given a clear statistical chance because there are so many unknown variables (resource availability, Birth Rate, predators, etc.). The relationship of a common ancestor can be found in the coding and non-coding DNA of apes and humans. It can also be found in the geographical distribution of hominoid fossils.
If you mean the chance of people evolving from apes presently, it's not going to happen. A human won't one day come out of an ape. The only possibility is if there were conditions where apes with more "human" qualities survived better than "normal" apes. Then, over many many many generations, there could be a possibility of a more human-like species. It would almost certainly have different DNA and would not be a human.

What is the name of the man who discovered people are related to apes?
Charles Darwin
Which 2 continents are apes native to?
Apes are native to Africa and Asia. Africa is home to apes such as gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos, while Asia is home to orangutans and gibbons.
Differences between monkey and ape?
Monkeys typically have tails, while apes do not. Apes are generally larger and have a more robust build compared to monkeys. Apes also tend to have larger brains and more complex social behavior than monkeys.
How did gibbons apes get their name?
Gibbons apes are named after the British zoologist Thomas Geine Gibbs who classified and studied these apes. The term "gibbons" is used to refer to certain species of small, slender, long-armed apes found in Southeast Asia.
How did humans become descendants of apes?
Either the question that you've asked is incorrect, or I really don't know how to answer it. Mammals have been evolving quite rapidly since the obliteration of dinosaurs (or since 65 million years ago). Evolution of more ape-like creatures kicked off at around this time. The oldest known Primate fossil is around 60 million years old. So, from the more ape-like looking creatures, us humans evolved. Ahha, I finally found a flaw. We aren't descendants of apes. We ARE apes. We're usually dubbed as (of course among humans) the fifth apes. Chimps, who are our close cousins, continued to look like the apes that we've evolved from. Whereas we shed out body hair, and started walking on two feet. Those few (well, they might be few but were of extreme significance) events led us here.
How do you elolve a level 100 munchlax?
you have no chance of evolving it. tough luck man :(
How long did it take for humans to mutate from apes?
The process of humans evolving from ape-like ancestors took millions of years. This evolution occurred over a period of approximately 6-7 million years.
Did apes come from black people?
Not exactly. 'Black people' are an ethnic group of modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens. Homo sapiens is a species of Great Apes. Therefore, you, and all other humans, regardless of ethnicity, came from apes, are apes, and produce more apes.
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.
How fast can ape run?
Some people say that we come from apes so I'm guessing that if we were from apes that apes run the same pace as us. :)
What evidence is against humans evolving?
If we're evolving and evolved from monkeys or apes then why is there still monkeys and apes. We did not evolve from apes or monkeys. We branched off a common line. Humans did not evolve from apes. Humans and apes had a common ancestor . Apes evolved in one direction and we evolved in another. We probably looked a lot alike at first.
What if your friend says that humans have evolved from apes How would you respond to that statement using the information provided in class?
I would explain that humans and apes share a common ancestor, not that humans evolved directly from apes. The theory of evolution suggests that humans and apes diverged from a common ancestor millions of years ago, with each species evolving separately over time. The evidence for this comes from comparative anatomy, genetics, and the fossil record.
When did the apes split off from each other in the evolution tree?
As far as the higher apes are concerned, Orang-utans shared a common ancestor with the others about 14 million years ago, the ancestor of Gorillas with the other apes was about 8 million years ago and the ancestor we share with Chimpanzees was about 5 million years ago. Don't forget, since those times, all apes have been evolving at their own rates in their own environments.
Does titanium dragonoid evolve?
probably not, but i think there's a good chance of him evolving into mercury or meta dragonoid.
Did 'man' start from apes?
Some people believe in that theory, but some people believe in Adam and Eve. Scientists claim that they have found evidence that we started from apes.
Why should human being descend from apes - can't apes degenerate from the human being?
because apes came before humans did. you see apes starting loosing their hair and kind' of looked like people. hope this helped you
Did people turn in to apes and pigs?
they never did cheese
