Let me see, we share almost 99% of our DNA with chimps and bonobos. I think it is fair to say that we have a common ancestor. And, these images have been explained. They do not depict space ships.

I think you just need to meet some of my relatives.

We didn't come from monkeys, we both came from a common ancestor.

I have it on good authority that atheists evolved from monkeyes.

I thought that Biological Evolution says that our prehistoric ancestors were 'ape like' creatures.

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. ?

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%

I kind of like the feeling of connectedness with all other living creatures. I work with hearts. It is amazing to me how much hearts resemble jalapeno peppers. I'm serious.

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 can believe anything you like. But here's how that works. It could be hard for me to accept gravity, but that doesn't mean I can fly. #science

Nope, there are a lot of ignorant people who agree with you.

I believe the fossil record, but if you prefer internet memes I'm not going to discuss science with you.

We didn’t. Modern monkeys are more like cousins to us. We share a distant ancestor.

You're perfectly right... humans have a common ancestor with the other primates.

Or...

Hold that thought, what married woman, wasn't she supposed to be a virgin ?
