Do you believe that humans evolved from retarded fish monkeys like Darwin said?

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.

The chimpanzee became "so intelligent" the same way humans did; isolated populations of chimps devised ways of dominating their environment, and by selective "partitioning" of the smarter population eventually separated themselves from their ancestors (a group of earlier apes that you and I have in common with the chimps).\n\nSharks have not evolved to be any smarter because they began with less raw material.  A shark is a fish.  What do they teach in school these days?  It is not impossible that in a few million years, sharks will evolve into something smarter, but it is unlikely because something is already dominating that opportunity.

I agree; humans and modern monkeys share a common ancestor.  Homosapien sapien (what *we* are) actually directly descended from homo erectus.  \n\nAll the scientific evidence backs this common descent up, btw.  We share a common morphology with chimps as well as a common molecular make up, which indicates that we share a common ancestor.  How else would you rationally explian it?\n\nFurthermore we share malfunctioning genes.  One in particular is a gene that prevents our bodies from producing vitamin C.  It seems that far back in our line of descent one of our distant ancestors was able to produce vitamin C.  This production was halted by a mutation - a mutation that all modern chimps share with us.  This is powerful evidence for a common lineage between chimps and humans because the best explanation is that this mutation was passed on through our evolutionary heritage.  \n\nThe creationist answer is, quite frankly, retarded.  They would have us believe that an all knowing and all benevolent entity created humans and chimps with a gene that produces vitamin C AND a gene that inhibits it's production.  An *intelligent* designer would just not have put in the genes for producing vitamin C in the first place!

becuz we didnt evolve from monkeys.\nhonestly if u idiots want to say u evolved from a hairy stupid animal then go ahead and make fools of urselves.\nyea yea the ape is smart not as smart as humans.

We didn't evolve from anything.  God made us humans, and he made the monkeys... monkeys.

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.

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!

According to the theory of evolution, which is strongly supported scientifically, we are not decended from apes, monkeys or chimpanzees.  We do, however, share a common ancestor with them.  Humans evolved from that common ancestor to become what we are today, and the others evolved to become what they are today.  However, there are other viewpoints on this matter, which, though not scientifically supported, are in wide belief in many cultures.  These ideas are based on religious belief systems. These belief systems contend that humans have NOT evolved, and were created just as we are today by a diety or dieties.  Whether this is true or not, is a source of much debate.

We did evolve from a previous species, one that diverged from an ancestor that was common to apes, but it's possible that the human line was never, strictly speaking, the SAME as an ape...it depends on how severe the genetic mutation was...\n\nddead: I like how you point out all of the hoaxes and don't state that there have been many skeletons found and recorded for Home habilis, Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis (while not necessarily man, still the same genus and possibly one that bred with sapiens), and you don't even mention the whole genus Australopithecus, a commonly cited group of ancestors...\n\nEvolution hasn't been proven, but there is a theory and ongoing science to support this theory, part of which is actual physical evidence...Creationists have stories and faith, but I guess that's enough for them...

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

monkeys did NOT evolve into humans.  neither did apes or any other primate currently living on this planet.\n\nHUMANS AND MONKEYS AND APES SHARED A COMMON ANCESTOR.\n\nIt has been 5 minutes since I last posted this answer.

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!

Okay, first things first. We didn't come from "chimps." Humans and chimpanzees have evolved from a common ancestor, but man is on a different evolutionary step than Bonzo, not a higher one.\n\nObviously, if you accept evolution (which you should, as it makes a whole lot more sense to anyone with an iota of reason), you cannot accept the Adam and Eve myth.\n\nThe competition of the fact of evolution and the theory of creation are mutually exclusive. Adam and Eve did not exist. They are part of a story made up by people with no better way to explain the world around them. It is a sad thing indeed that even in the twenty-first century people still cling to this made up tale.\n\nIf I told you that I had a magic potion that made you invisible, you'd ask for proof. But if some book says that the world was created 6,500 years ago (thousands of years after the Babylonians invented beer!), it is accepted without hesitation.\n\nSo sad. So sad.

We could evolve into idiots, even by evolutionary theory- All the theory really states is that any trait which increases the number of viable offspring will become predominant.  If, for example, it turns out that high intelligence somehow reduces the number of offspring (which may very well be true, for any number of reasons including social adaptability in highly intelligent people), and that given the mass movement of people today that all highly intelligent people marry each other, then we would have a situation where slowly those genes were lost.  You dont need a glitch in evolutionary theory to see that as a possibility.

Based on fossil, genetic, and molecular evidence, we have a long train of ancestors in our history.  Modern humans and other primates, such as monkeys, have a common ancestor that lived about 25 million years ago, and our ancestor would probably *not* be considered a "monkey."  Before that were early mammals, and before that mammal-like reptiles, the sauropsids. Before that were early reptiles, and amphibians.  And yes, before that, about 440 million years ago, one of our ancestors was a fish.  So you are correct.
