  1. yes


  2. No, created by God.

  3. 500 million years ago the first fish species evolved on Earth.

    Two million years ago the first humanoid species evolved on Earth.

    Four BILLION years ago the first prokaryotes evolved on Earth.

    In a really long, convoluted way, yes, humans did evolve from fish.  Over a process of a few hundred million years.  Just like we evolved from single cell organisms over a process of a few billion years.

    Do we understand evolution enough now to move questions about it to the Biology section?

  4. If the human evolve from fish or apes,that  some  belive,

    I am asking you  and all who belive that.

                  WHY ARE THE FISH OF TODAY STAYING

                                           F I S H

                AND MONKEY STAYING  M O N K E Y ?????????

  5. No...from dinosaurs!!

  6. It started out as a single cell in the sea after the big bang and the formation of the earth. Somewhere somehow this single cell creature evolved to a fish and later this fish developed legs and crawled onto the land and later became a primate (monkey) and climbed on the tree.

    Finally after millions of years spent on the trees, this primate came down from the tree and started to walk on two feet (bipedal).And so it goes...

  7. Can a fish ride a bicycle?.Or pick its nose?.This subject is too deep for me!.

  8. No, we didn't evolve from fish, we share a common ancestor.  

    I just hoped that people reading that would realize how stupid it was to say we didn't evolve from apes but share a common ancestor.  

    We do have fish in our ancestry.  We also share ancestors with a rudebaga and bacteria.

  9. Absolutely. Read Darwin's theory of evolution, the read the Bible. If you can connect the dots, you will see they both agree with the evolution of man stemming back from micro-organisms.

  10. no, apes

  11. No. It'd be quite interesting if we had gills though...hmm...and scales.

  12. technically, in the path of evolution, the fish came, climbed up to land, became amphibians and evolved into reptiles upward. So far so straight.

    Did mammals come from earlier versions of amphibians? I should think so. Nothing else lived on land except plants and insects before Nemo and his kin lumbered up, right? And some similarities in morphology still remain-we've got the aspects that makes us vertebrates same as they do.

    It's quite a surprising thought, but once you think it through, it might have been. Truly. I don't want to eat milkfish or salmon for dinner while contemplating our degrees of relation, but it's very interesting to know.

    As regards to that, there's another way we could say yes to our question- if, I guess, we're Buddhists, or pantheists, or believers of the religion that holds that we are all differing manifestations of the Great Spirit. That tuna sandwich could have been your best friend in the next life, or Bill Gates. That's a different context altogether rom evolutionary proposition, but hey. Who knows.

  13. We started out as single cell creatures, maybe we went through a fish phase or maybe not .

  14. Yeah the mudfish is my cousin..

  15. Yes, among other things.  This depends on how far back on the evolutionary path one wishes to go.  You might say Humans evolved from microbes, bacteria or any other form of simple life too.

  16. No, this magical imaginary man snapped his fingers and the universe was born....

    Yea, I think just about everything came from the ocean

  17. did u watch that South Park episode or something? lol and ur answer depends on the religion the person is and what not...so...SURE...im a fish...i should go under water and see how long i can live...

  18. About 500M years ago, yes- but so did every other creature on dry land. Nearly all land animals trace their root ancestry back to an ocean fish species called Eusthenopteron, which was the first fish to develop dual gills/lungs and spend part of its life on land. This gave birth to the first land reptiles and amphibians, and so on.

    So, yeah, us, the crocodiles and giraffe all share a common ancestor.

  19. well i think at some point the theory is that we were, before the primate stage.

    In my opinion no one really knows since there is no recordings of what went on. Evolutions is just a theory, that's something most people choose to forget.

    I personally believe in intelligent design, namely God.

  20. First of all, evolution, defined as the change of one species through time with relationship to extinction and speciation is a fact...this has not been contested for over 150 years. What is not a fact, but a robust theory, are the current mechanisms for evolution and the ancestry traits.

    Fish? No, since modern fish have been evolving for hundreds of millions of years, it is likely our beyond ancient ancestors were not fishlike, even if they were aquatic.

  21. in theory yes.... the fish of that period had much better adaption abilities

  22. We only resemble fish in our very early embryonic stages...

  23. HUMANS WERE CREATED THE SAME WAY THAT FISH WERE CREATED BY THE WORD OF GOD.

  24. stardust

  25. if you are christian then you don't believe in the theory of evolution.  We came from Adam and Eve.  If you are not christian then you believe (probably anyway) that we evolved from apes.  But then what did apes evolve from and so on.  HMMMMMMMMMMMM.  That's the million dollar question.

  26. Sure thing.  They were here before any land creature.

  27. I don't think so.  Apes and/or God, and maybe Neanderthals and monkeys.  Perhaps mice, too.
