Accordig 2 Drwin's theory...mankind evolved from apes..ryt?.......so,ain't this evolution still continuing?

Yes sure it is still going on. But apes will not turn into men, they'll turn into something else or they'll go extinct, or they won't change at all. Turtles didn't really change in 100s of million years.\n\nApes and men branch out of the same animal. We all changed into something different each on our way. You never know what skill or characteristic might be helpful for future species. Men are one original species, not what other species will turn into.

Exactly. Humans did not evolve from primates. The theory of evolution is full of holes.

good lord, the level of the ignorance here is amazing!  please, see gs saint's answer, people.\n\n-man did not evolve directly from monkeys, he evolved from apes\n\n-there are still apes around because not all apes evolved into humans, only those in a certain locale did.  the environment man lived in was diffferent from the environment of the apes, spurring him to evolve in a different manner than chimps or bonobos.\n\nTurkishGamer13: it is not a flaw in the theory of evolution.  the coexistance of humans and other primates is fully supported by evolutionary theory, and is what would be expected if eveolution were true.  Umm, just about every characteristic of organisms today started out as a mutation.  Many mutations are harmful, because it is not likely that a random change in a being is going to be beneficial.  Some are though.  I have no wisdom teeth, and my dentist says i never will.  this is a mutation which benefits me.\n\nKajaK: science is moving away from evolution? LOL, read a book on the subject. there are controversies among biologists about the details of evolutionary theory, such as whether evolution occurs gradually at a steady rate or quickly in rapid bursts.  but these controversies do not affect the strength of the theory itself.  Evolution is one of the strongest scientific theories - it is independently confirmed by all different branches of science: chemistry, biology, paleontology, anthropology, geology, ecology, etc.\n\namrmusicqueen: yes, the thousands of scientists over the past 100+ years, working with the most advanced technology, and who have devoted their entire lives to research, study, and experimentation in the issues of biology are ignorant about their subject.  Thousands of PhD's who have each spent decades studying the theory of evolution, trying to find flaws (if a scientist was able to disprove evolution, he wuold be one of the most famous scientists ever, so there is a lot of incentive for scientists to over turn previously established theory) are ignorant about the subject.  But a girl who has never studied the subject (this is a justified assumption, because if you had, you would not be so quick to make hasty generalizations) is qualified to pronounce evolution as "not-cutting it."  LMFAO.

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.

It is thought that man came from ape like ancestors, not quite monkey's.  \n\nIt could take hundreds of thousands of years for macro evolution to occur.  Wait around that long, and i guarantee there will be NEW species.  So it is still happening.\n\nThe fossil record is not complete because fossils are hard to come by, not everything fossilises despite contrary belief.  In fact it's amazing we have as much info as we do.\n\nHow on earth does it take less belief to believe in a god, there is no evidence whatsoever for this!  At least evolution has enough evidence to fill several hundred warehouses, what do you have, testimony.. Yeah right, thanks, i'll keep to evidence, not faith to inform my decisions about the world around me.

Gala, you are spouting the common creationist misconception that humans evolved from apes. This is not true at all. Rather, humans share a common ancestor with apes. Also, there have been findings of humans much older than 6000 years old.

*Sigh* This question has been asked so many times, it's almost sad. Here's the deal: we did not evolve directly from monkeys and apes. Humans, monkeys and apes all evolved from ONE COMMON ANCESTOR. This common ancestor has since died off. So, let's put it this way: monkeys and apes are our distant cousins, rather than our distant brothers and sisters. That make sense?\n\nHere's a better question: if man DIDN'T evolve from monkeys and apes, why are we 99% genetically similar to them? \n\nThank you, by the way, for stating monkeys AND apes in your question instead of just monkeys. Strictly speaking, we are more related to apes than to monkeys. And yes, there's a difference.

Did really humans?  chimpanges?  I have not a clue.\n\nI would suggest, you may have evolved from under a rock.\n\n.

I'm always so puzzled at how ignorant americans can be. Evolution doesn't say we evolved from apes. The skulls aren't fake and haven't disappeared. The world didn't start in 6000 BC. Get some culture, people! And, dear Asker, that's what you get from asking this in the Religion section. It should be in Science, you'd get better results.

According to current theories of macroevolution, humans did not descend from apes, monkeys, or any other species currently in existence.  A large amount of research (genetic comparisons, fossil record, comparative taxonomy, etc.) suggests that humans and modern apes had ancestors in common.  \n\nOf course, we would probably consider those common ancestors to be more like apes than humans.  (Perhaps apes would consider them to be more like us?)  This is not unexpected.  Different members of a species can and do differentiate along different paths.  Some paths are pretty straight: they don't change much over time.  Some paths wind all over the place.  The paths that survive are those that are best adapted to survive in their particular environment.  Humans are so successful as a species because we've developed the capacity to adapt to almost any environment on Earth.  That's evolution!\n\nIf you want to learn more, check out the link below!

Monkeys?  Humans evolved from this source, however, it wasn't over night, this took place over thousands of years.  There are snow monkeys anyway, living in the Himalayas so that blows your theory.

Just because man evolved from apes does not mean that the apes have been wiped out or replaced in that process.But what actually happened is that around 2-3 million years ago a group of apes started moving from their habitat in the African heartland toward the drier northern regions.As a result of changing climate and ecology They had to make certain adaptations in order to survive and thus these apes started evolving into humans wheres the groups which stayed back carried on with their existing traits because those characteristics were suitable for their habitats.So you have to understand that evolution takes place because there arises a need to change which can be attributed to change in ecology,climate,population etc...And it is only this group which is subjected to change conditions and it is only this group that actually evolves.

If you are going to comment about evolution, at least do yourself the favor of actually learning what it is.\n\nHumans did not evolve from the species of apes and monkeys that you see today.  Instead, all current primates (including humans) evolved from a common ancestor.  That was an "ape" that lived thousands of years ago, but it didn't look like the monkeys and gorillas you see today.\n\nGo to a museum, read a science book, or watch the Discovery channel sometime.  They all show you how humans evolved.\n\nIt doesn't take faith to believe in evolution.  It just takes the ability to open your eyes and look at the evidence.

some aliens may be the predesessors of some of us humans.\n it is unlikely we evolved from apes purely, but the apelike creatures that evolved were intermingled with aliens from space about 50,000 years ago.\n read" Slave species of God" by Michael Tellinger or go to website at   slavespecies.com   and listen to audio tape.

I don't believe in evolution either but if you really get down to it and put the concept in another form there is still no way to prove it.lol.If we were evolved from apes then there would be no more.I mean come on who here resembles an ape?I mean not bein mean but some colored guys do but thats it that's unexplainable as well.Evolution is fake it is just sumthin that Darwin thought up because he was jealous of a man named GOD.

read this and diside for you self \nIt's understandable why some people think that humans evolved from ape-like creatures, but how is saying that complex life forms arose spontaneously from molecules floating around in the sea any more plausible than myth? There is no proven mechanism by which molecules can give rise to simple organisms that later give rise to more complex ones like dinosaurs, just because evolution can happen among very closely related species. A single mutation\nhas very little chance of benefiting an organism, so the chances that millions of organisms can have the right combination of mutations to adapt to their environment is pretty much none. If you try to write a working code for a computer program by wildy mashing buttons, you will not make any progress even if you had all the time in the world. Evolution is the default theory based on process of elimination, for lack of a better explanation without using religion. Evidence of evolution or religion doesn't always have to exclude the other.

Very interesting indeed...  This may very well be another piece of the puzzle.\n\nAn earlier theory speculated , well before neanderthals existed, was the ability to walk upright was an anatomical change that later facilitated cranial development.\n\nUpright ambulatory movement freed the hands to later craft tools, literally gave a different perspective of the world, etc.\n\nGenetically, proof of our connection to the great apes has been established by Hillier et al, Nature 2004.  Mind you, we didn't come FROM the apes, but share a common ancestor.  Peace.
