Answer 2

No apes are still around doing their thing and have no signs of turning into people

What Darwin proposed was that we had a common ancestor

and the two species man and ape evolved down different paths to where we are now. Each sucessfull in it's own niche.

Answer 3

No. Period

Answer 4

No, apes and humans developed from the same ancestors.  Apes are not our grandfathers, they are our cousins.

Answer 5

.. i think that that is true.. i mean, look at the similarities :)

Answer 6

yup.

Answer 7

Sorta.  We still are apes, and we evolved from other, earlier apes.  Some of these earlier apes also gave rise to modern-day gorillas, chimps, and orangutans.

An ape is any primate that lacks a tail.  We most certainly are primates, and we don't usually have tails (the people that do have a minor genetic glitch.  It doesn't count; those aren't even close to the prehensile tails of many monkeys).  There are even people who make a very sound argument that, if we weren't the ones doing the taxonomy, we'd actually be classed as a third kind of chimpanzee, we're so closely related to them.

Answer 8

we were created by a higher power.

Answer 9

If you really want to know the truth, humans are a type of ape or we would be if we were subjective but since we make the groups we like to put ourselves in a separate class in spite of the evidence.  We are in fact intelligent bipedal apes.  We are the last in a long line of bipedal apes going back over 6 million years.  We did in fact evolve from other apes but not the existing ones.  Too many people, even doctored anthropologist, have the mistaken notion that a chimp was in our ancestry.  The previous answer was half right, we didn't evolve from existing apes, but we have extinct ones in our ancestry.

Answer 10

It is about as true as poodles springing from buffalos, now how true is that?  There are still plenty of apes and I don't see any of them turning into human beings, do you?  

  Absolutely not!!!  I believe that God created man in His image not in the image of the ape.  The ape theory is just that a theory---not a fact----- like some people like to pertend & seem to think.  Many scientists believe in creationism and not just Darwin's theory.

    Can a lily turn into a cactus?  NO!  Can a fetus grow into anything but a baby?  NO!  Can an apple grow into an orange?  !  Absolutely not!  Now let me think,,,,Yes, a horse and a donkey can produce an offspring, which is called a mule, but do mules make more mules?????  NO!  The mule which is a hybrid, can not reproduce!  Think about it!!

Answer 11

No, we developed seperately but with common ancestors.  it's kind of like sayins you're distant cousins.  if apes never existed, we'd most likely still be here.  Ask yourself this, 'if your cousin was never born, would you still be alive?'  the answer is yes because you're not directly related to your cousin.  we "supposidly" evolved from the Genus Austalopithicus, which eventually morphed into genus Homo, which is where we are today.....

Answer 12

No it is not.

If we did why are there still apes? If it were a developing situation humans would develop into something else and we wouldn't be here. We humans are dumbing down as time passes. Modern engineers cannot build pyramids with only human/animal labor, we cannot navigate small vessels a;cross the oceans with only a sextant, and there are numerous examples of skills we no longer have.

Answer 13

It most certainly is NOT true. Just like all other life on earth, when one species died out another species filled the niche. there is nothing whatsoever in the fossil record which tells us anything different. Darwin himself, was depending on the fossil record to prove his theory and it never materialized. All the literature written against the ape theory is gradually being taken off library shelves, but one you should read if you can find it is called, Ancient Traces, by Michael Baigent. Published in 1998 Good luck with it.

Answer 14

wise old sage hit this dead on..

"No apes are still around doing their thing and have no signs of turning into people

What Darwin proposed was that we had a common ancestor

and the two species man and ape evolved down different paths to where we are now. Each sucessfull in it's own niche. "

Answer 15

National Geographic has recent excellent articles in simplified language.

Its from a common ancestor, not from the apes we know today.

Besides that, land animals all evolved from crawling fish anyway. Happy gills.

Answer 16

I agree with Wise Old Sage. People always get this wrong! We did not "come from apes", we share a common ancestor. (Actually, if you go back far enough, we share a common ancestor with every life form on the planet.) Our closest genetic relative is the chimpanzee which is one of the great apes, along with gorillas, orangutans, etc. We are primates and so are the great apes--they are non-human primates.

Answer 17

no one knows

we can only give you opinions

this site should be called opinionology.com

its in my opinion that we didn't though

sure we share 97% of the same DNA structure, but that really doesn't mean anything

we also share 93% of our DNA structure with dolphins

Answer 18

No. Grab a Darwin book and study it closely.

Answer 19

No, they are wild animals.  We are civilized human beings ...at least those of us who haven't fallen into garble that gives excuses to behave uncivilized.

Answer 20

Humans and apes descend from a common ancestor

Answer 21

Who did apes evolve from dolphin or elephant?? If we appeared from them something HAD to appear before them to make them!??!! So Ah-bviously it's not true!!
