Do you believe we once were monkeys?
Answers:
Certo che si Giuseppe!!
No, because if we were, why are there still monkeys?
Take a visit to Hartlepool, they're still half way there.
yes, lots of skeltons hav been found to prove this
Hmmmm i don't think so.although having said that the man sat across from me might STILL be! lol
nah i don't.
good point richard.
We were never monkeys. Please take some logic and science courses.
read a few biology books and you'll find your answer
seriously, I'm not trying to offend you by that reply but the only way you are going to find out for yourself is by learning about evolution, even if you disagree with its concepts, at least you will be more informed than you are now
Nobody believes "we were once monkeys".
However, the evidence is undeniable that humans are descended from the same ancestors as modern-day apes, and that in turn these creatures were descended from the same ancestors as modern-day monkeys.
It would help you to read an introduction to evolutionary biology. A very good easy-to-read one, meant for the layman, is Evolution by Carl Zimmer.
possibly but we can't be sure.
Maybe we had the same ancestor & circumstances & enviroment meant we took different paths.
Certainly the DNA of apes & humans is very close.
No
I THINK MONKEYS WERE ONCE US
Read Carl Zimmer's answer - it's spot-on. You got a brain - might be time to use it, after all that's why we evolved!
No. "In the begining God created..." Genesis.
no we were never monkeys if you look then you will see that they were human but not evolved as we are now btw think before u start bashing ppls beliefs (by saying monkeys it makes u look pretty ignorant)
We share 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees.
The argument that we can't have been monkeys as there are still monkeys makes no sense.
If you believe in evolution then, logically, there would be no other species but ourselves. But that is not how evolution works.
Did you know we share 60% of our DNA with bananas?
i don't think so. cos do u see monkeys turning into human beings now? haha
no
If you believe in the Buddhist doctrine of reincarnation it's down to your karma in previous lives what you end up as. You might once have been a monkey in a previous life, and equally you might be a monkey in your next life . or a rat or a cat or a bird.
But seriouisly I agree with previous correspondents - please read some basic text books on evolution.
No, we and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor.
here is a list of early homonids which eventually evolved into modern man:
Here's a list of things man has been.
Note the time it takes to slowly evolve from one level to another.
Bear in mind that A.ramidus didn't just wake up one morning as A afarensis. The change was gradual, following climatic changes and so-on. Man has not changed appreciably in 400,000 years.
How much change would there be in recordable history?
Australopithecus ramidus - 5 to 4 million years BCE
Australopithecus afarensis - 4 to 2.7 million years BCE
Australopithecus africanus - 3.0 to 2.0 million years BCE
Australopithecus robustus - 2.2 to 1.0 million years BCE
Homo habilis - 2.2 to 1.6 million years BCE
Homo erectus - 2 to 0.4 million years BCE
Homo sapiens - 400,000 to 200,000 years BCE
Homo sapiens neandertalensis - 200,000 to 30,000 years BCE
Homo sapiens sapiens - 130,000 years BCE to present
To respond to those who would argue against evolution because no-one has seen monkeys change into man, I would argue that Creation does not exist because no-one has seen a man being created, either (births don't count as creation, sorry). To find the common anscestor we would have to go back about 20 million years. Very poor quality fossils from back then.
I don't understand why people like camel and others believe in re-encarnation. It is not true at all. And as for evolution, it is also not true because, because nature is too beautiful, highly detailed, and complicated to be something that just happened.
Honestly if you think about it there must have been an inteligent being behind it all? About DNA? well it s not everything, humans are much more intellectually advanced than monkeys
i believe we once were becauce sum ov us still hav a bit ov monkey left in us
no, we were not monkeys any time but in the timeline of the earth history, we actually evolved from monkeys.actually, from the monkeys, two evolution chain emerged out, the gorillas and the humans i.e., like i and you.
is this explanation o.k. for you..
no. evolution is a fraud. i could give you a million examples to disprove evolution.
Some people still believe that if you put a bunch of watch pieces in a bag, in a million years, it will put itself together. They call it evolution.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
senti a me perche dai sempre la miglior risposta alla stessa persona?
non si fanno queste cose
marco
tygergirl, please, please, please disprove evolution for me in precisely one million different ways, I need to experience this. And the watch analogy is senseless, evolution creates, no one said it would put anythinhg back together again.
monkey are terms we homosapein use to categorise/isolate ourself, therefore yes i believe we are evolution from "monkeys".
monkeys are monkeys now because they lack the ability of an opposable thumb, to use tools and create tools, like us, homo sapien sapien.
Yes, I believe. MY grand grand grand...grand father, maybe, was a monkey!!
