Do YOU really believe the 100th monkey hypothesis ??

I have no reason to believe that any of the above is true as you did not cite a source.  However, assuming the above information is correct, it seems quite possible that the monkeys observed the researchers washing fruit and proceeded to imitate them.

Darwin never claimed that man descended from monkeys.\nIf someone told you that, they were either misinformed, or lying.

i have listed two sites for you that i think are the most helpful, my personal favorite being wikipedia.  i don't know what exactly you are writing about, but these sites have all the general information about the monkey

♥♪♦♫ yes it was said that humans are oringinated from the ape family. I hope that I have helped you.♥♪♦♫

Is this the give typewriters to an infinate number of monkeys with infinate time and they will eventually \nproduce the entire works of Shakespere??\n\nbasically saying that eventually by pure luck / randomness\nthey will hit exactlt the right keys etc etc.\nOr If you keep at it, you get there in the end.

Not really, nobody REALLY has proven it yet, but Asians truly do believe in it... (Not me, even though I'm Asian...)\n\nSounds fishy.

I knew beore reading your joke that monkeys could read!\n\nHere on Yahoo Answers we have a zooooooooooooooo of em.

I will never ever believe that!!!! Think about it,if that were true, then why aren't the apes turning human now. hmmmmmm

Actually  i have five trained Monkeys typing for me! 3 of them think up all the answers. Banana Boy ask the questions! And Cherry Chimp is currently stealing you identity, so she can download porn of the Internet.\n\nFrom Arnold Ape! (The methamphetamine monkey!)\nP.S   Got and ICE?

since you didnt insult islam finally in a question, let me try to answer you as a friend.\ni dont think it is true, because if god created a monkey first, then monkey would have been mentioned in a good way, not in a bad way, you get my drift ?\nit would have been hollier if it was the first form of life.\ni think god created monkeys looking like us for a reason, i dont actually know it but maybe he wanted us to look at a brainless version of us and thank him for the brain and intelligence he gave us.

yeah we got it from a monkey... some freak knocked up a monkey and it passed on to humans.... im serious..

1. There is no such thing as a "lower primate". Only creationists who are ignorant of evolutionary science would ever  use such a term. All organisms have been evolving for EXACTLY the same amount of time. There are no "lower" organisms.\n\n2. We are not simply the descendants of apes, we ARE apes. Humans are one of the 5 currently living great ape species. \n\n3. The most compelling evidence is in the degre of genetic homogeneity, with over 95% of genetic material shared between humans and the chimp species.

There is evidence to say that we are still evolving. Many people believe that our brains have gotten larger.\n\nProblem is that evolution through natural selection takes millions upon millions of years. The human lifespan is nothing next to this. That is why it is so hard for us humans to wrap our minds around the concept of geologic time & evolutionary changes.\n\nHere is the deal w/ the whole monkey issue:\n\nWe did not evolve from monkeys. Biggest misconception ever. Certain groups of people like to keep this myth going b/c it helps their cause.\n\nActually we (human line) branched off millions of years ago during the Oligocene. The line that we think of as apes & monkeys form a different branch of the evolutionary tree. We are not directly decended from monkeys OR apes. They are on different branches all their own.\n\nSome theorists believe (i.e. S. J. Gould) something called punctuated equilibrim in which at certain times in history evolutionary changes occurred in short spurts due to changes in the climate/environment which in turned allowed natural selection to occur. Makes sense --> no change = no natural selection = no evolutionary changes.\n\nWe have seen in the past that some groups of people are naturally immune to select diseases. IF a particular disease occurs in which only 1/4 of the population is immune & the rest die out, then you have a change in the evolutionary gene pool.\n\nNatural selection still occurs today. The peppered moth is one example.

As a personal opinion I think it is entirely possible but I do not know of any studies which can confirm this scientifically..;

It is not about monkeys being clever or not. \nIt is about random letter generation. It is just that in the analogy, monkeys were used to give the analogy a friendly face.\n \nlook at it this way\n\nIf a monkey was given a numerical keypad - just with the numbers 1 - 9 on it (and assuming that the monkey didnt die, or get bored or just start mashing the keypad) what are the chances that he will eventually type '123' in sequence?\nthe law of statistics says that in any random genrated sequence there will be some 'coherant' sequences\n\nok, suppose we now give the same hypothetical  monkey a keypad with letters and he keeps tapping away, what are the chances that he will eventually type 'the '\naccording to the law of statistics, we expect to see the word come up eventually, after all there are only 26 letters on the keyboard.\n\nnow, its not much of a stretch, given that there are only 26 letters and a few punctuation marks, that - given an *infinite* amount of time - a hypothetical monkey (who doesnt die, get bored, poop, or mash the letters) will eventually produce a random string which will be the complete works of shakespear.\n\nit is a fun way of looking at randomness. Like all analogies it breaks down if you start looking at it in terms of monkeys dieing, eating, mating, mashing the keyboard or anything else which relates to real life

Of course not!!\n\n\nThey evolved from gullible monkeys.

Did you ever take into consideration that both theories are correct, God created some people and others evolved from apes, look around you and you will be able to see the results of these two phenomenons. People are always wanting to prove or disprove one theory or the other, that accounts for the confusion and hopefully this will clear it up for you and a lot of other people.
