history of man

First of all, evolution is a FACT ... it is NOT a hypothesis. Different species have become different because of very small changes in DNA in successive generations so that, over a very long period of time, humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and the other apes have all evolved from a race of animals with ape-like characteristics. An individual ape never 'changed into a human'. It is simply that, over a long time, certain animals became more adapted to their environment - those which were able to walk upright, for example, were more suited to living in the savannah/grassland environments and those who learned how to use tools and their brains and to hunt in groups were more successful than those that did not. As they reproduced, the children who were better adapted to this way of life survived and reproduced and those who were less able did not. Very gradually, different species emerged and eventually became so different that they became what we see today: humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and all the other types of ape, each of which is adapted to its environment. All animals, of course, communicate with their own species but humans alone seem to have developed in a particular way such that we take far longer than most apes to reach maturity, have larger and more complex brains and far more advanced tool-making and communication abilities.

Thank you for introducing this discussion..i also had this type of question and i din't get any answer..Now from other mylotters,i have found the answer..This is an example that Mtlot can be used to get confusing answers!! Very Good Discussion!!!

I agree with you...that is why I don't believe thatevolution

Because we didn't come from them?

haha drive us to move out and brains? but honestly, maybe just to know where we came from the earth. interesting question, but right now I can not think!

i still have doubt about this evolution things but my history teacher once told me that it isn't that we come from monkeys, but monkeys and us are come from the same species.

Yea, this is actually a pretty good/interesting question. One possible reason might e that apes & monkeys still exist to help us understand our own roots & how we evolved from them. Another possible reason for their continued existence might be that back when the evolution to humans began for apes/monkeys, a clan of these animals broke off from the evolving group & continued to live like they had always done because it helped them survive better. They probably have certain abilities that we do not have & it has helped them in their survival. Off the top of my head these are the only two possible explanations I can think of. But, it really might be a good idea to do some further R&D on this question...
