What would happen if all the monkeys became extinct?

There would be too many bananas.

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.

different variations of ancient monkeys are born, for example there are tall people and short people.  At a young age the animals fight to survive.  The stronger animals live.  so the stronger ancient monkeys lived.  sometimes animals would fight for mates.  The stronger ancient monkey would win, therefore, his stronger genes would be passed onto the children.  for example.  If the only way to get food is from these really high trees, the short people would die out and the tall people would survive.  Hope this helps.

If the scarlet macaw ate a particular species of insect or animal, that species, devoid of one predator, may grow to a larger population.  Since the scarlet macaw is endangered, such an action has already likely occured.

For the last time, we didn't evolve straight from monkeys. We had a common ancestor that was wiped out because of the forces of evolution.

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.

Everyone would have everything they need or have ever dreamed of. \n\nOr the world would come to an end by the mere force of the bag being turned inside out, upsetting the parellel universe where all of the items of the bag come from.

Realistically, humanity will be dead. Sad, but true.\n\nSooner or later a couple of madmen with nukes will bomb everything, and everyone that moves.

listen to t. h. white (sword in the stone author). we will in the end use up all our resources and the organisms that need them will die. it will break off part of the food chain and no other organisms will be able to live. the part of that is what happened to the dinosaurs (likely) and it will probably happen to humans considering how destructive we are.

In the near future, scientists preidct of another Ice Age, followed by another supercontinent wear every continent comes together. Global warming would be temporary. Then, plants would die off, followed by the animals. This is because of teh growing sun and the heat created by it. Daily average temperatues would reach 100-35 degrees farenheit. Mitochondria stops working at 125-130 degrees farenheit. Thus, eukaryotic cells would die off and the earth would be left with bacteria-prokaryotic cells. Soon the heat of the sun would evaporate all of the oceans and only the hardiest bacteria would live, close to the Pre-Cambrian days. The surface of the earth would be so hot that it would melt, and earth would be swallowed by the expanding red giant sun. Before any of this happen, every 100 million years, a meteor larger than the one of the K/T impact that wiped out the dinos could hit us and kill everything except fot bacteria and another Ice Age would occur. Basically, the future represents the beginning of life on earth. bacteria-eukaryotic cells-higher animals-eukaryotic cells-and back to bacteria-no life.

Far too huge a subject to get into here, check the link for information.\n\nJust to clear up one common misconception: Man did not evolve from monkeys.  Men, the great apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans), and monkeys all evolved from common ancestors millions of years ago.  Men and monkeys diverged more than 10 million years ago, and men and the great apes diverged about 5-8 million years ago.

The few monkeys I have known (ex-husbands not included) would chase anything, including themselves. I'm thinking it would, but wouldn't go around the bush...it'd go through!

look at the monkeys man if we all evolvoled from them then why are there still monkeys, were they to stupid to evolve with us or what? nope i say we are as we always were if not why havent we evolved farther?

We own 25 monkeys.  In all the years we have had them we have NEVER witnessed them having sex.  I think they are kinda private.

yes it will be by an ice age. some species will survive.  apparently the monkey squids will rule the world.  they look like normal squid that swim in the sea, cept they live on land and swing thru the trees like monkeys.
