What species did primates evolve from?

NONE.  All things were created!  Things adapt to changing environments, but they never turn into something entirely new.

We didn't come from apes. Apes and humans have a common simian ancestor, but the species evolved separately.

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.

I believe in myself.  As for evolution, in a nutshell there are still monkeys because the group of monkeys we came from were forced to evolve due to a new enviroment and monkeys didn't have to evolve because their enviroment has pretty much been the same.  Understand though that this didn't happen in a day or seven but over a few million years, its a fact sorry but that doesn't mean that there isn't a god.

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.

Different apes.  Both people and present-day apes evolved from a common ancestor which was ape-like, but not the same as a present-day ape.

Firstly, monkeys haven't evolved into humans.  Modern humans evolved through various ape-like ancestors over many millions of years, with homo sapiens appearing around 20-30,000 years ago.\n\nThe way I understand it, for something to evolve, there has to be an available evolutionary niche to fill.  Humans (and their early ancestors like homo ergaster or homo erectus) have filled theirs.  Even if they hadn't, any other ape would probably have evolved into something that was quite different from homo sapiens.\n\nChimpanzees (the closest living relatives to homo sapiens, us) have evolved to fill their niche.  There is nowhere else for them to evolve to (although they are advancing, see http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/10/1006_041006_chimps.html for info), no available evolutionary niche that needs them.  \n\nOf course chimps, gorillas etc have evolved over millions of years and are different from their ancestors who lived at that time.  They are constantly evolving and in many millions more years will probably be quite different from what they are now.\n\nP.S. Monkeys are different from apes!  They are often smaller and most of them have a prehensile tail, whereas apes do not (and there are differences again between Old and New World Monkeys).  Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primate for some more info.

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.

man and monkey evolved from a common ancestor

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

Lemurs and other prosimians have been around for maybe 50 million years

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

We did not evolve from apes. I find it hard to believe evolution can create two different species.  That's like a cat evolving into a duck.

I have all the respect in the world to Darwin. He is a good scientist, and even though evolution does indeed occur; it occurs withIN one species. So, in effect, an insect can evolve into an 'evolved' insect, but it can't evolve into a fish! Primates might 'seem' similar, but I do not hold them in the same 'species' as humans. In other words, I do not believe that WE evolved from monkeys, and therefore, we have no 'relatives' from the animal kingdom. If primates evolved into anything; I think it is into bigfoot, but not humans.

No Darwinist who understands evolution would ever say that humans evolved from monkeys.  The answer in evolution is that monkeys and humans share a common ancestor.\n\nSHARE A COMMON ANCESTOR\n\nRepeat that prase a few dozen times until you finally wrap your head around the fact that only creationists and idiotic atheists who don't understand evolution (but have an agenda against God) would ever say that the theory of evolution teaches man descended from monkeys.\n\nEvolution holds that all life is related.  Hence, you also have a common ancestor shared with the house cat or with the frog, but your common ancestry is more closely shared with the monkey than the cat, and more with the cat than the frog.\n\nPlease check the following link.  Please.  It's not about evolution.

Okay, first of all...we didn't evolve FROM monkeys.\nMonkeys, apes, gorillas and humans all evolved from a common ancestor who was not exactly an ape, gorilla, human or monkey.  That is why there are "still" monkey--we never were monkeys.\nSecond, the offspring of 2 parents could indeed be smarter. Otherwise how would we get people like Einstein and DaVinci?  Everyone has a tiny bit of mutation in them as well as a blend of the two parents. That's how evolution works. If your mutation makes it more likely you'll survive, you'll pass it onto your offspring.  If it makes  you die, then you won't pass it along.

Im astonished that people actually think that humans CAME FROM monkeys or apes. we didnt come from either of them, we just are in the same family, like dogs are related to wolves. We actually came from a much larger primate than a freakin monkey. we are of the same family as them but no we did not come from them. and why do people relate the evolution thing to whether there is a god or not? i dont get that at all, all it proves is that humans as we know them werent the first on earth, who knows... maybe adam and eve were cavemen.
