Question

Do you think Americans are proof that apes evolved from man?

Answer 1

I believe that we have exhausted this topic. I have seen at least six other questions in the past week asking if we came from apes and did they come from us.  The answer is no.  We have a common ancestor and we are related but one did not produce the other.  Plus, our closet relative, genetically, is the orangutan not the ape.  

Also what do you mean by "Americans".  Do you have something to say?  No, ethnicity, race or cultural group is superior or inferior to another.  I think you need to quit being so ethnocentric.

Answer 2

Ah, the 'nickname' you chose is, as you know, a derogatory, racist  name for 'black' Africans, and so your question, then, is a bit of satire, a touch of humor. Thanks.

Answer 3

Since Sahelanthropus is a biped and is 7 million years old and since our common ancestor with chimps is less than that, common sense tells you that chimps evolved from bipedal hominoids.  I don't think you could say they were men though.  Americans are among the greatest people on earth living free and wealthy and are the envy of the world by the way.

Answer 4

If that were the case then why does man still exist?
