What causes the monkeys to become endangered?

Animal "research" and testing of products on these fascinating creatures. Their lives mean nothing to scientists.

A) the number of offspring-\nEven if you didnt know this, you could figure it out by the process of elimination, going from monkeys to apes (even including humans)- Primates have gotten bigger (apes are bigger in general than monkeys) apes (and humans) live longer than monkeys, apes (and humans) take many more years to raise children than monkeys, and apes (and humans) dont sexually mature for a very long time compared to monkeys- That only leaves (A).  If you think about it, apes and humans generally only have a single offspring at a time, at most one a year-thats about as decreased as you can get.  Of course, Elephants may only have one offspring ever, but they arent primates.

Ummmm Last time I checked humans have never evolved into monkeys.  However, there has been a lot of scientific research indicating that apes may have evolved into humans over very long amounts of time.   Evolution is something that occurs over an extremely long amount of time... if humans started living in water now- in thousands of years we could live like a fish. Do your research and don't judge people on what they do or do not believe. That isn't very Christian-like is it? Christians are supposed to be really nice and respectful aren't they?  The Bible could hold some truth, or it could possibly just be a way of setting good morals. No one knows for sure if God exists, and thats a fact.  I think you need to do some research.... I mean good grief- you thought we evolved into monkeys. I think you're a little backwards.  haha!

Even monkeys make war. Its nature.

i really have no idea where it came from. for some reasons monkeys come to mind. i think they were carriers and some human got it and then it just kindof spread from there. it took a while to become mainstream.

We have quite a few escaped pet monkeys in FL. In the everglades there are some "hammocks" which have trees. While monkeys like fruit, they are omnivores as we are, so they would fish & eat other animals they could catch. They are also accomplished thieves, so if they are not caught by people, they will steal whatever they can from us.       As for the second part, they would evolve as we did. Primates can already communicate with sign language & teach it to others. We still have a coccyx (tail bone) We're not that different.

Hmm...monkeys are a tad not as smart as humans, they cannot speak, hairy, and extremely on the ugly side...humans are a bit more advanced, and i'll say that's your answer..:)

Since they have no natural predators, they take over the environment.  This happens because the addition of this new predator throws off the balance of the ecosystem, sometime fataly.

No. If we came from monkeys, there would be no more monkeys. There would just be us!!  lol

Monkeys now aren't the same as the monkeys we evolved from, our common ancestor. They didn't evolve in the same way because of different accidents in the genetic replication, and because they are well adapted enough to reproduce in their environment... Natural selection does *not* lead to the optimal genetic material, simply to one that is *good enough* to reproduce better than the competition.

Not too many. Surprisingly, experts do not consider human poachers to be a serious threat to night monkeys (or owl monkeys, as they are sometimes called). The same goes for nocturnal predators such as owls, big cats or snakes.  The reason for this is that the monkeys take preventive actions - they tend to change their sleeping locations regurlarly, and they use an elaborate set of "spoken words" either to warn each other or to startle a potential attacker.\nSome say that the great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) is a typical predator for those monkeys.

AIDS originated in monkeys that's why. people didn't have sex with monkeys then.

feed them to the monkeys

They just need time.  It takes millions of years.  Think about this, there are mutations in humans even today.  Some people are midgets, some people have extra fingers, some people are born without certain senses, some people have extra bones.  All those are random events that are in our genes.  One day a monkey will have a random genetic mutation that makes it different than the rest.  Depending on the environment, this mutation will either enhance or inhibit his abilities compared to the other monkeys.  So, say his brain is a little bigger than the others.  It will enable him to use a rock as a weapon and even though he might not be the baddest one, he will get the priority to mate, increasing the chances that this gene will be passed on to his kids who will have even bigger brains and be able to figure out more stuff.  It takes generation after generation.

First, whoever told you that "humans evolved from apes" doesn't understand the theory ... humans and apes have a common ancestor.\n\nBut your real question (which nobody is addressing) is "if X evolves into Y because Y is more 'fit', then why doesn't X become extinct?"  That often does happen.  E.g. dinosaurs evolved into birds, and later went extinct ... why? because a global catastrophe happened for which the birds were better suited to survive, and the dinosaurs were not. Species become extinct all the time, leaving only their more 'fit' ancestors.\n\nBut it doesn't *have* to happen immediately, and it doesn't have to happen at all.  Just because Y is better than X at a certain task doesn't mean that X must immediately become extinct ... both X and Y may be quite successful.   X may be better at gathering fruit from trees at night.  Y may be better at moving around on the ground during the day.  Both may survive quite nicely in their different environments.  But soon X's will stop meeting Y's for mating purposes and they become different species, the ancestors of X and the ancestors of Y.  It's not that complicated.

Assuming they really exist, they are doing what they want or need to do and do not have much concern for us. They are so advanced technologically and evolutionarily that we are like chimpanzees or apes to them. We use chimpanzees for medical research all the time, and the researchers don't really think much about whether it's good or bad for the chimps.

We don't believe in Darwin's theory. Like my honey said, if man came from monkey why haven't monkeys continued to mutate. After millions of years, monkeys are still monkeys.If monkey mutated to the form of man, shouldn't  man continue to mutate to something.....
