Evolutionologists, if we really evolved from apes, then why don't apes and humans act alike?

Question

I don't see humans climbing trees, swinging from the branches, and throwing their p**p at each other. Likewise, I never see apes wearing tuxedos, riding bikes, and cheating on their taxes.

What's your answer?

Answer 1

Wow that is a really great word, I have to admit I have never heard it before but I'm going to look it up.  

Answer 2

you have never met my son have you?

Answer 3

well if you dont laugh, scratch, play with your hair, caress your family or friends and socialise then maybe your more like a woodlouse, but the rest of us do, and if you look with your eyes and brain, listen with your ears youll begin to realsie just how alike we and apes are

society changes a lot of things for us, including that we dont climb trees or swing from branches

when we are older, because of our society and its rules

but you DO see kids doing it....wow....whats THAT about.....coudlnt be the exact opposite of what your saying....nah...nah, course not

Answer 4

Apes have more sense. xx

Answer 5

Yes christians do do things like that. Being christian doesnt make you perfect. Its that attitude that makes people not like christianity. I cant name one christian who has cheated on taxes, however I cant name one atheist that has either. I do know a christian and atheist both guilty of tax evasion (step-dad and parent-in-laws). Unless you know everyone, their beliefs and all the mistakes they have made, that is a foolish thing to say. Im a christian just so you know. And lately ive been seeing too many questions like these on here from christians. I know atheists post rude questions too but your not supposed to act that way back at them. That is not what the God taught.

Should add I only consider it cheating if you lied on your tax form. Not paying isnt cheating.

Answer 6

How can you condone a priest in my local town having child p**n then?

If he was such a good Christian why would he do such a thing?

Your theory is a joke.

Answer 7

I'm working on a PHD in evolutionology.  I am also getting a degree in waffletastological studies.

Answer 8

Wait a minute. Your a troll.

You have seen little of what children do.

Answer 9

I certainly can't argue with that logic.

And yes, you're right. I'm sure no christian ever did anything wrong.

Answer 10

You're either making a really lame joke, or you're the most retarded person in history.

I pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that it is the latter, because that would be funniest.

Oh, and Willy Nelson's a Christian. He cheated on his taxes. Or just didn't pay them. Either way, you are teh FAIL.

Answer 11

If I got on Google, and then proceeded to list all of the white collar crime committed by Christians, I would be sitting at my computer, non stop, until the end of time!!

And since we ALL know that your statement is BS anyway, I am going to save myself the time, and the trouble, and not do it!

And the fact that I am related to you, even through the apes?, turns my stomach!

Now, get down out of the tree, and stop swinging from the branches, before you get hurt!!

Answer 12

I climb tree's and swing from branches. I don't throw poo at people because I don't want to get my hands dirty. I'm 18, by the way. And I've seen apes doing those things too. Just as a comedic relief in some shows, etc. And I know of my mother, father, and step-father who all cheat on their taxes, and they're non-denominational, Catholic, and Baptist, respectively.

Answer 13

humans ape around. apes can't "human around" because they're not intelligent enough.

Answer 14

Ever seen the movie Every Which Way But Loose?

Right turn Clyde.

Answer 15

I bet you didn't know that some of Y!A users are apes, and they got more best answers then you!

Answer 16

Hmmm... a Christian who cheated on taxes...

Dr. Dino is currently in Federal custody for an extended prison stay for tax evasion, I believe...

And I have no doubt he is enjoying the staff of the righteous every night...

Answer 17

If Christians evolved from Jews, then why do Christians eat bacon?!

And why are there still Jews!?

Answer 18

Haha :)

We both evolved from an ape - like ancestor, you could say human beings have evolved further than our cousins. But I don't see apes starting world wars so I'd say they're better off to be honest.

I'd do some research before you start arguing idiotic questions. This is why the rest of the world thinks the USA is stupid.

Answer 19

you dont see them producing anything that looks like baby humans either

Answer 20

Evolution doesn't provide evidence that we evolved from apes.

Answer 21

Because we didn't evolve from apes; there is a common, proto-primate that we *both* evolved from. And we are different *because* we evolved - evolution brings change amongst branches, until such a point where they are not longer genetically compatible and become different species.

As for Christian tax frauds...

Answer 22

Humans dont act like apes?

You havent been on this site very long, have you?

Answer 23

dude.. read a science book.

because what you are saying is that every other organisim has been proven to have evolved or is on its way to being proven some day.

which by your thinking leaves us .. the only mammels on the globe that didnt evolve,. that doesnt make common sense does it?

im sure it might to you i see... but thats ok..read more books please

since 90% of americans believe in a god of some kind... i would have to say that 90% of the people that cheat on taxes ....are believers.

see ...common sense..and i think jarry fallwell got busted for it...

Answer 24

Who says they don't? Ever been to a Raiders game?

Answer 25

Creationist if we were created why do we have an appendix or tonsils when both do nothing?  Sounds like your fictional sky god did something wrong or we evolved to the point we dont need them.

The reasons we no longer act like animals is because we evolved out of our animistic state.  We do however still have some animistic instincts and tendencies.

Answer 26

There are plenty of similarities between humans and the great apes.  They show signs of intelligence formerly thought to be seen only in humans.  There is plenty of research out there to prove that.  And the fact is we didn't evolve from apes.  Both species evolved from a common ancestor.  

Uh, Jimmy Baker comes to mind when talking about Christians who cheat on taxes.

Al Capone, a Christian, went to prison for it.  The only thing the feds ever got on him was cheating on his taxes.

*sigh* y'know what, Douglas Adams was right,

"Earthmen are not proud of their ancestors and never invite them round for dinner"

Answer 28

yay! *DRINK*  <--- thats my first!!!

Answer 29

Because the old species doesn't have to die off for the mutated ones to start a new species of their own.

First of all, modern apes are not the same apes as the ones who are human's ancestors.  Those were a different ape.  But some of those ancient apes developed tree-living skills that helped them live that way.  And others developed mutations that allowed walking erect and building things.

All life was once one-cell creatures.  But there are still one-cell creatures even though SOME eventually mutated into fish.  

Answer 30

LOL kent hovind  

Answer 31

dude, you need to open your eyes.

Christians are just like everyone else.

they do terrible things.

they kill, they go to war, they rape, they steal,

oh, and they cheat on their taxes.

seriously, if I ever heard you talking like that in public I would punch you so you couldnt ever talk again.
