Answer 6

humans didn't come from apes, we evolved from a common ancestor.

Answer 7

As you have been told elsewhere, and I reiterate, there is no mention of man's origin in origin of the species.

Origin of the species is about how a species develops in general. man is not an example within.

Answer 8

No one knows. Mankind is still looking for that missing link!

Answer 9

Have you read it? Because if you had you would know that Darwin does not broach the subject of human origins in The Origin of Species. He does address the subject in Descent of Man, first published in 1871. Many people don't realize that Darwin isn't the final word on evolution. It often surprises people who are unfamiliar with the subject that Darwin didn't "invent" evolution and that many, many scientists have done research since Darwin and continue to do so today!

Scientific concensus (backed up by significant amounts of research) doesn't state that humans "came from the apes". Actually, both modern humans and modern apes are descended from a common ape-like ancestor that lived millions of years ago. Apes didn't come from monkeys either. No modern animal "came from" another modern animal. Based on morphological and genetic simmilarities between modern creatures (or the fossils of extinct creatures), we can estimate the point in the past at which two species diverged from a common ancestor. Apes and humans share a common ancestor that lived millions of years ago. Similarly, apes and monkeys share a common ancestor that lived long before the ancestor that is shared between modern humans and apes.

Answer 10

On the origin of species does not state that man came from apes, that is a common misconception. That point aside, it is believed that humans and non-human primates (i.e. apes) share the common ancestor sahelanthropus tchadensis
