if ape turned into man why are they still apes on this planet, why did they not evolve?

we did not evolve from apes\nwe are not "children" of apes we are more like "cousins"\nwe have common ancestors and we have all evolved to suit different situations

The adherents of Darwin's principle of evolution say Yes, those that believe in creation by God say No, but common sense teaches that we are human being and we never change from anything or to anything. Man is unique in nature and has always remain man since existence. Also since we have not been able to identify any being that has changed to another since men have been keeping records (apart from process of metamorphosis)my conclusion is "Man did not descend from apes"

One huge misconception about evolution is that the sequence is fixed. The apes *are* evolving. They are changing in response to their environment. But that environment is different than the one our ancestors had 3-6 million years ago. So they won't change in the same way our ancestors did.

God wasn't created.  He evolved from Apes.

I don't belive in evolution. If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys today?

First of all science hasn't proven that man evolved from apes. If we did evolve from apes ? How come there are still apes in the jungle? How come all the apes haven't changed to Human beings. How come no one has ever stumbled upon an ape in the process of transforming into a human. \nYou know what . The reason man is so brainy is because he was created in the image and like of God. As a matter of fact science has shown that the average man does not use 90% of his brain capacity.\nGod expects you to do somethings for yourself, use the brain that he has given you to find cure to diseases and solve earths pressing problems instead of questioning his existence.\nPerhaps you should take a trip to Mars or Pluto, may be you might find some fellow ape-men, or sub-species of \nape-men .Wake up man!

Post an addendum to your question - you don't need a whole new question.\n\nLeoin is obviously blissfully unaware (or more likely doesn't want to hear) that man and ape SHARED a common ancestor and evolution is based on branches not strength lines.\n\nOne more bit of amateur science to try to bolster an obviously wavering faith.

Darwin never said man evolved from monkeys.  He said man and monkeys share a common ancestor.

The word  evolution means to evolve to change. So if we  came from apes how come we still have apes, after all if man went with an ape the ape population would no longer be around, I've never heard of such utter rubbish in my life, we were created by a power beyond our understanding, just look around you, what do you see, take a seed, how does it grow into a tree etc etc. It only takes a bit of common sense.\n\nGloria(BSYA)

You clearly had a poor science class.  Never has the Theory of Evolution stated that man is descendant from APES....\n\nThe Theory of Evolution states that Apes, along with Man, is descendant of a previous life form.  \n\nThink not of Evolution as a Ladder, but as a branching bush.\n\nMan came from previous Hominids, and so did Apes.  \n\nThe separation of races came from the environments.  You see that, in general, the races close to the equator are more dark skinned.  You also see that the races with out as much direct contact to the sun have white skin, which is more susceptible to sunlight, so they recieve more.   \n\nIt's like how the pupil in your eye grows larger and smaller depending on how much light there is.  White skin is comparable to a larger pupil, to get more light.  Dark skin is comparabe to a small pupil, to not recieve as much light, because the environment already has a lot of direct sunlight.\n\n\nAs for all the anti-evolution books below, you may read them, but then read these, the articles all proving the books wrong.\n\nhttp://www.infidels.org/library/modern/paul_doland/creator.html\nhttp://www.ncseweb.org/icons/\nhttp://www.ncseweb.org/resources/articles/1244_darwin_on_trial_a_review_12_7_2000.asp\nhttp://www.infidels.org/library/modern/peter_atkins/behe.html\nhttp://www.infidels.org/library/modern/mark_vuletic/denton.html\nhttp://www.kcfs.org/pandas.html

humans followed a different evolutionary path from monkeys and apes. We didn't evolve from monkeys - monkeys, apes and humans evolved from the same ape like animal. We have since taken different paths, and both co-exist

They never did.  So many people have asked this question and it is just ridiculous.  What you really should be asking is can someone please explain evolution to me.  Evolution does exist.  If you don't believe it you are ignorant to the world around you.  Monkeys exist independent of humans.  They aren't some under-evolved human.  Biologically we are related to them in that we are both priamtes and in the case of chimps both hominids.

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.

Didn't they evolve from monkeys?  Oh wait, that was us.

Because not all apes turned into humans so some apes remained to keep reproducing. And just a question for the other answerers: If god created everything, surely he could have not created himself bringing up my point: Who created god, but then who created the thing, that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,.... that created god?

Be sure to check a few sources on this one, as you're starting with some misinformation, and getting some misinformation in response.  (Including ... don't take my word for anything either ... really, look it up, get a lot of reputable sources, and then the picture will become clearer).\n\nFirst, get away from the image that man evolved from what we now call "apes", like modern chimps.   We share a common ancestor, that looked very little like a modern chimp and very little like a modern or even early human.  This ancestor is not what we would now call an "ape."\n\nSecond, there is not a straight line of development from this pre-hominid ancestor to modern humans.  Branches happened many times, many of these branches died out (became extinct).  One of these extinct branches is the neanderthals.\n\n[Along these lines, a rule of thumb: Whenever you see a site or a book with that classic picture of a chimp on the left, with three or for increasingly erect figures marching proudly off to the right, with "Modern Man" marching proudly in front ... run like heck.  This is the *worst* picture you can imagine as it reinforces this wrong idea of man as a linear progression.]\n\nThird, Homo sapiens sapiens is a *subspecies* of Homo sapiens.  The only other subspecies was Homo sapiens idaltu, another now extinct branch.  So it is not quite correct to say that H. sapiens 'evolved into' H. sapiens sapiens.\n\nSummary: Evolution is not a line from one species 'evolving into' another.  Evolution is a tree ... with many branches, many of them (in fact most of them) dying out.\n\nI hope that helps.  Good luck.

I beleive in Adam and eve.\nThe only explanation why we are here.\n\nEvolution.- To some extent.\n   I dont beleive humans evolved from apes\n   But I do believe in Survival of the fittest.\n   Giraffes with short necks couldnt survive cause they couldnt reach the tall tress after the ground was barren................ something like that.\n\n  Evolving from apes does not make sense- why did they stop evolving if they evolved before.\n   Why aare there no intermediates between apes and human.\n\nIf God created animals, and earth, and stars and suns, than he must have created humans too.
