Apes converted to human beings . But why still other apes are there.

Question

Why transformation had occurred in some apes only.Is there any chance of any other animals getting transformed or we our self get transformed.

Answer 1

Yes as only last week I was a Silver Back Gorilla.....now Iam a human being Iam considering applying for reciprocal evolution - and go back with the monkeys where its all cool and we don't shoot each other.

Answer 2

god created man and animals  we came from god read genesis to say we are from apes is lowering ourselves      

Answer 3

thats just like saying

fish converted into amphibians but why are there still fish?

there are different species of animals as we all know but each one may evolve into their own branch so there must of been different species of apes many years ago which evolved into their own different branch one of which branched of to evolve into humans  

Answer 4

<<But why still other apes are there.>>

Other apes still able breed and babies have.  No apes ever intended giving rise to descendants that left the forest to exploit the savannah.  That's simply what happened in one case.  Why anybody would think that development requires all other apes to drop dead is a mystery to me.

Try language for a parallel.  English is largely a Germanic language and shares a common ancestral language with modern German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic.  The development of these various new Germanic languages didn't require the extinction of German.  Es gibt immer noch deutsch sprechende Menschen, obwohl Neu- und Altdeutsch nicht gleich sind.  Never mind quite what that sentence means.  The point is that, despite the development of clearly different descendant languages as diverse as English and Icelandic, I can still write in a less derived form of the original German language.  There was no need for people to stop speaking it.

<<Why transformation had occurred in some apes only.>>

It hasn't.  All living apes differ somewhat from their ancestors.  However, seeing as the lineage leading to humans entered a new environment, while other lineages generally stayed in the forests, it's hardly surprising that our lineage changed somewhat more.

<<Is there any chance of any other animals getting transformed or we our self get transformed.>>

Transformation via evolution is a process that is underway with every fresh delivery of new offspring.

Answer 5

the reason there are still apes is that we and apes share an early common ancestor, but we do *not* directly descend from them. the "branch" that connected us split long ago.

Answer 6

i'm not sure where you get your information. no one said apes

Answer 7

I don't know bu then again there are a lot of holes in the evolutionary theories.

Answer 8

You should search YA to see the 1000 other times this question has been asked.  

Answer 9

Evolution does not say that apes converted into humans.  It says that both apes and humans shared a common ancestor.  There are several fossil examples of these transitional animals.

Answer 10

Humans are an anthropoid ape.  Biologically speaking we are classed in the superfamily Hominoidae (Great Apes).  Great apes first evolved about 20 million years ago (from smaller primates).  There have been many species of apes, including some 17 hominids (human lineage).  Our closest ape cousin is the chimpanzeee.  According to work in molecular genetics humans and chimps began their divergence (probably due to reproductive isolation) from a common ancestor 10 million years ago, but occasionally interchanged genes (interbred) until 5 million years ago, when reproductive isolation (thus speciation) became complete.  This also fits with fossil evidence, as well as circumstantial evidence from studies of comparative morphology.

Answer 11

animals constantly evolve, it is quite complex but depends on their niche, how are they doing in their current environment and which adaptations or mutations are successful, more info below, also look up 'natural selection'
