Do You Believe We Came From Monkeys?

[sealybobo]

We're primates that developed from a common ancestor 5-7 million years ago that yes was an ape.

That is a fact....The evidence is very strong.

Not a fact, it is a theory, big difference. And if we descended from an ape, why are there still apes?

Humans, Orangs, Gorillas, Chimps, we've all been evolving in parallel.

When you think orangutans, gorillas, and chimps will land on the moon, master fire, make electronics, create the written word, master flight, make beautiful music, make vaccines, create the internet or nuclear weapons, etc?

when you think humans can climb a tree in a twinkling, are super strong etc. All species have their skill sets. Our skill set is the frontal lobe....and long term memory.

As a collective we save knowledge so the next generation can build on that knowledge.

How smart is the average person? If put on a deserted island with your parents would you guys be able to do anything other than rub two sticks together? You wouldn't know how to make steal, oil, electricity, perform a surgery, build an engine, smart phone.

Most of us aren't that much smarter than people were 1000 years ago.

We rule because we work well in groups and invented writing

Once again there is NO fossil record to support the claim man came from an ape like creature. None nada.

Once again, you have not the slightest idea of what you are talking about.

The evolution of human and ape hand proportions

• Sergio Almécija

Abstract
Human hands are distinguished from apes by possessing longer thumbs relative to fingers. However, this simple ape-human dichotomy fails to provide an adequate framework for testing competing hypotheses of human evolution and for reconstructing the morphology of the last common ancestor (LCA) of humans and chimpanzees. We inspect human and ape hand-length proportions using phylogenetically informed morphometric analyses and test alternative models of evolution along the anthropoid tree of life, including fossils like the plesiomorphic ape Proconsul heseloni and the hominins Ardipithecus ramidus and Australopithecus sediba. Our results reveal high levels of hand disparity among modern hominoids, which are explained by different evolutionary processes: autapomorphic evolution in hylobatids (extreme digital and thumb elongation), convergent adaptation between chimpanzees and orangutans (digital elongation) and comparatively little change in gorillas and hominins. The human (and australopith) high thumb-to-digits ratio required little change since the LCA, and was acquired convergently with other highly dexterous anthropoids.

That does not prove anything at all and is in no way evidence that man evolved from an ape like creature. Once again NO fossil record exists to support the claim. That is why it is still JUST a theory.

All these turkeys dispute creationism and talk about ape thumbs and squirrel nuts but they can't explain where those animals came from to begin with.

And this is why liberterianism is such a bad idea....It is the opposite of everything that made us strong.

They look at all living things when they are first conceived and all creatures start off looking almost exactly the same. The they grow to be whatever they are. Watch the Cosmos. Eye opening

In that case, if you scrape a pecker track off the back seat of an '81 Dodge and put it in a glass of water, it might grow up to be an ape or a Liberal Democrat. Got it. Everything is clear now. Thanks.

I still don't get an explanation about where the apes came from. Any idea?

Duh Yeah!
If you were really curious instead of Blindingly: Stupid, incurious, and brainwashed.. it's quite easy to find out.
It's so easy these days, you male Bimbo:

evolution of apes - Google Search ​

Can't you even google you driveling fool?

Even giving it to hore-fly on a silver platter.. he whiffs.

They found a new bacteria at the bottom of the Dead Sea.

No we can not tell you for sure where all those animals came from but what we know or think because of all the things we know that a bacteria turned into single cell the multiple then so on till all the diversity we have today.

What happened to trilobites and dinosaurs? Why did they come and go long before us?

Anyways, we know so much that evolution is a scientific theory, which is basically a fact.

Where does life come from? Originally inside stars. How did life start on earth? We don't know. We have theories.

Our theories beat ancient holy stories

 

[jillian]

I know there are similarities but I think they are coincidental, like cats and seals both have whiskers. But cats didn't come from seals or vice a versa.

what you "think" is pretty irrelevant.

science exists whether you believe it or not. but thanks

The atmosphere was different on young earth. Humans probably couldn't survive. Trilobites ruled for millions of years before dinosaurs. Dinosaurs millions of years before man. We've only been around for 200000 years. Sometime after the dinosaurs we evolved into tree dwelling apes from hole dwelling rodents. Eventually we stood up.

Our ancient ancestors made up the god story because they couldn't figure out how we got here. Much easier to make up a 7 day creation story.

 

[Syriusly]

Once again there is NO fossil record to support the claim man came from an ape like creature. None nada.

But then again there is a consistent fossil record to support the claim that man and apes evolved from a common ancestor.

And absolutely no evidence to support the fairy tale that Man was poofed into existence 6,000 years ago.

I 'dispute' creationism the way I 'dispute' that the earth is flat.

There is fossil evidence to support the theory of evolution.

Creationist can't even agree on what their theory is- but it certainly isn't supported by any fossil- or genetic- or geologic evidence.

I don't need to know where a river started to know it flowed from a source upstream.

I don't need to 'know' where the first life came from to recognize that the theory of evolution is the model that best fits the evidence we have.

Holy smokes. Obviously some people never learned about evolution in school.
