I think you just need to meet some of my relatives.
We didn't come from monkeys, we both came from a common ancestor.
"The only time I really feel at ease,
Is swinging up & down in the coconut trees!"
"Oh how I want to live a life of ease!"
"And be like an ape man!"
'Ape Man' --- The Kinks ----- circa 1965 or so.
According to Sitchen's translation of Sumerian tablets, the Anunaki mixed their DNA with that of an early man-type, perhaps homo erectus and came up with modern man.
I look like a monkey, I move like a monkey, I smell like a monkey, I eat, act, think like a monkey. I don't know about you guys, but I’m a monkey. I forgot my tail though I wish I had one.
If you have ever had a wiff from a chimpanzee or a gorilla’s armpit, you’d know we actually smell almost the same. Next time have a go.
@maturin1919 YES! ?
Ummm... chimps and gorillas aren’t monkeys.
@FutureFicus Yeah... You are correct... To me monkeys and apes are the same, but you are correct. ?
after the most massive die off the planet earth experienced. our ancestor farther back the the moneky was the shrew
Man didn't evolve from Apes or Monkeys lol, however we share a common ancestor, look at evolution like a tree
This is the answer I was looking for.
And for the record: bonobo chimpanzees and common chimpanzees are our closest relatives, sharing 98.6-99% of our DNA. Monkeys only share ~93%
there seems to be some confusion regarding the difference between monkeys and apes
As stated below by some, we don't. Where did you get that from? It has been known for a long time that we share a common ancestor from millions of years ago. We share 97% of genes with chimpanzees. We are cousins. You don't come from your cousin, but you are related. Very simple. Nothing to lose sleep over.
You're perfectly right... humans have a common ancestor with the other primates.
Or...
A magic sky pixie came down to impregnate a married woman so she could give birth to himsef to in order to sacrifice himself to himself because people broke his rules
Hold that thought, what married woman, wasn't she supposed to be a virgin ?
