If we evolved from monkeys!! why are there still monkeys that haven't evolved?
Answers:
Just like there are humans who never evolved, they're known as Republicans.
because we didnt come from apes
Please check out the hundreds of times this question has already been asked and answered here.
Short answer--we didn't evolve from monkeys. Apes and humans evolved from a common ancestor.
Because those that believe in evolution are so slow the monkeys are tryin their best to keep pace with them
i wondered that too
They are a different species of monkey.

This theory is not proved yet
Leave it all in gods hands
we didn't evolve from monkeys,,we evolved from much smaller mammals of witch primates like monkeys gorillas and us are just one group
Darwin is fool .
We did NOT evolve from monkeys.
It is thought that humans and monkeys and chimps and all primates existing today evolved from a common ancestor in many intermediary steps. This ancestor was a type of ape which no longer exists.
I believe it was called.and I'm sure I'll spell it wrong, Australiopithicus.
We did not evolve from monkeys, we share common ancestors with them. Anyway, evolution enables newer organisms to take advantage of new conditions but it does not mean that the older forms have to die out. Look at the Coelacanth - a fish that has been round for millions of years; there are more advanced kinds of fishes but it has not died out because its environment can still support it.
Because evolution is not real.
Only monkeys will make a statement like that and believe in it....and by this I'm not saying its you I'm talking about the scientist.
They have, they used to be human.
that's load of trash, we did not come from monkeys at all.
If you are refering to Darwinism you have got the wrong end of the stick like most other shallow thinkers.
The theory was that we had a common ancestor not that one evolved from the other. Evolutionary pressure set the different primates who evolved from this common ancestor on different courses of development.
Obviously, you don't know anything about the theory of evolution.
Have you dumb creationists ever thought that asking questions that demonstrate that you have NFI about evolution, nor do you care to find out, convinces the rest of the world that you really are stupid?
If you took the trouble to inquire about anything apart from the dishonest, misleading crap you are fed from the pulpit you would never ask this.
Why are there still wolves, if we bred dogs from wolves.
Anyway we did not evolve from monkeys.
Nor even from apes.
Though as a species we belong in the ape family.
Just like a leopard belongs in the cat family.
We had a common ancestor with apes, just like you and your nephew had a common ancestor in your grandfather.
because the monkeys of today evolved from the orange spotted beetle of yesterday..snicker.snicker.
some will tell you that it is because of our encroachment on their societies which have stunted their evolution.
keep asking, you are on the right track.

Long story short, we didn't evolve from monkeys, gorillas, chimps, or any other modern apes. We, as well as gorillas, chimps, monkeys, bonobos, etc. shared a common ancestor millions of years ago.

they should clear up some of the questions or misconceptions you have about evolution.
Indeed there are monkeys who did not evolve. The reason is they chose not to. This is how it happened, there were clever monkeys and there were stupid monkeys living together somewhere in Africa. One day the clever monkeys discovered a way to an evolution which would end up in humans. Those who evolved would walk upright, have opposable thumbs, be taller, and less hairy. But then they would live in cramped cities, breathe smog and kill each other for money, fun, race or religion. As you can guess all the stupid monkeys chose to be humans while the others had all the riches of African jungles to themselves. Unfortunately they did not calculate that humans would come back to make them pay. You think it did not happen? Then why do you have the 99% of the genetic material of a chimp in your blood?
we didn't evolve from those apes!
We did not evolve FROM monkeys, although we do all have a common ancestor. All life has evolved from a common ancestor. The common ancestor of primates split sometime in the past to become the strepsirhines primates such as leumurs and loris' and the haplorhines such as tarsiers and anthropoids (great apes and us).
This is a common question from the creationists and it makes no sense at all. Modern day apes descended from their early ancestors traced back to a hominid species dating over 2.7 to 4 m.y.a.
Modern man belongs to the genus Homo, which is a subgroup in the family of hominids. What evolved into Homo was likely the genus Australopithecus (once called "man-ape"), which includes the famed 3.2 million-year-old "Lucy" fossil found three decades ago.
The whole human family tree, being able to connect the branches is the life work of anthropoligists and other scientists. The great apes are man's closest cousins, they developed off the main family of hominids over 4 m.y.a.
Monkeys are here because nothing selected against them heavily enough for them to die out - you're missing the proposed mechanism of evolution, that traits that lead to more successful mating and/or successful rearing of ones young lead to increase in those genes and their associated traits.
If anything, evolution theory drives that special (as in of the species) differentiation is increased due to the forces of selection.
We did not evolve from monkies. We evolved from primates. Chimps, Gorillas and other such animals are simply side-steps in the evolitionary process. We are related but we were never actually monkies.
We didn't evolve from monkeys, we had a common ancestor. We evolved into what we are now, and monkeys took a different path, that's all.
We did not evolve from monkeys. We share a common ancester with the monkey.
And for the debate of Evolution vs. Creationism:
“Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.”
Ashley Montagu
I find that this quote is very pertinent to the debate between evolution and creationism. It is true that science has proof without any certainty, certainly when it comes to the theory of evolution. But the lack of certainty does not lie with wether or not evolution occured, but with the specific mechanisms of evolution. Life on earth has evolved and continues to do so, this is a fact. To disregard evolution is to be ignorant to the facts. Creationists seem to be certain that god just put life on earth as is, even though there's no proof. I can see how some religious person with no scientific background can argue intelligent design, but i cannot comprehend how someone with any sense of logic could dismiss evolution and believe in creationism.
for the same reason that some people still believe in religion. some people are prepared to put up with the same old cr8p from outdated and irrelevant sources and either don't see a need to, or are unwilling to change. Think of it this way other primates have a book (their Genome) and behaviour patterns which they have successfully used over thousands or years, they seem happy with it, some humans have another book (be it a Bible, Torah, Koran) which seems to persuade them that what was written anywhere between 1200 & "n" thousand years ago is completely valid today and therfore they don't need to change or think that there may be a smarter way of doing things). There are others not labouring under the accumlated prejudice and bogitry inherent in all forms of organised religion that others may actually have a point, others may have a better way of doing things.
besides which I don't think anyone has actually said we are evolved from monkeys, just that we share a common genetic ancestory as other primates (approx 90-98% [ mind you we also share approximately 60% of the genome of the banana plant]). At some point, in the not too distant past mankind went down a different pathway than other primates.
