A question about Evolution...?

If you truly have an evolution question, the Science section may be more helpful.

Since it doesn't appear that you actually do:

And evolution doesn't teach that humans evolved from chimps, it teaches that we share an ape-like ancestors. hth.

I hope you meant this as satire, because it sounds very silly.

Here it is:

"we human being evolved from chimpazees or the likes"

We did not evolve from chimpanzees. We share 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees because we have a common ancestor from millions of years ago - chimps took one evolutionary track and humans took another.

"why are there still chimps around in this time....aren't they supposed to be already "human" by now?"

Evolution does not have a set point and the Great Apes are not going to become human. If dogs are descended from a species of wolf, why are there still wolves?

There are other apes because we were descended from a common ancestor -- consider the species like you might imagine the branches of a tree -- some branches will look different from others, but if you go far enough back, there is a trunk uniting them together -- common ancestry. In fact, all life shares this common ancestry, down to the smallest cell or bacteria.

Hope this helps.

I understand what you are trying to ask.

Unfortunately you have been misled about evolution, by people that know better, but chose to lie to you anyway.

Evolution doesn't claim that we evolved from Chimps, in fact, chimpanzees have gone through just as much evolutionary change as humans.

We come from a common ancestor, which is actually even shown in our Chromosomes. Betcha haven't heard about that yet?

Its actually really cool.

We have one less Chromosome than Chimps, so it is reasonable to expect that one of our Chromosomes must have fused together, leaving markers showing that this actually happened.

We didn't know what was what until DNA studies showed us that our second Chromosome has markers that prove that it was once two Chromosomes that had fused together. Which completely supported the common ancestor theory.

What you aren't told about at church, is that there have been thousands of scientists who have questioned evolution through the years, and everytime they come up with a theory that could possibly disprove it, evidences is discovered that actually strengthens and supports it.

Scientists aren't trying to trick you, they are actually just trying to learn about the world around us, and as a result we have things that make life better for you and for me.

Hope this helps.....

Evolution can be explained away in one easy step. Evolution is something more being formed from something lesser. Using a reverse argument, if we track back, continually evolving from something lesser and lesser and lesser and lesser, it would never end! There had to be a beginning that set life into motion. That being that existed without a beginning is God. Simple, yet people are so blinded. Chimps will never evolve, and never will humans.

Both chimps and humans evolved from common ancestor that had gone extinct.

Chimps evolved in the tropics, where food grows on trees.

Humans evolved in other areas, where you have to work to get food.

If chimps or ape-like creatures were our ancestor, we should still be able to breed with them and produce an offspring. Being that we cant I would say, that we didnt.

Isnt it strange that, answers for evolution evovle as well, like a common "extinct" ancestor, instead of the 1950's scopes trial of man evolving from apes. Seems that evolutionist keep grasping at straws for "proof" that no one can find.

We didn't evolve from chimps. We evolved from a common ancestor. That common ancestor is extinct. (Though the ToE does not posit that when a new species emerges, the parent species must go extinct.)

Two branches of the evolutionary tree. I doubt chimps look the same now as they did when humans started growing their branch.

Natural selection tends to create branching in the evolutionary "tree". All the great apes, and that includes homo sapiens, are branches from a common ancestor. The same is true for all of life.

That's why there exists such tremendous diversity of species-- it's not an "escalator" metaphor, it's more of a branching bush metaphor that fits the fossil and DNA data.

Why would a well adapted species evolve? Essential evolution does not have a goal state and humans are not the pinnacle of evolution.
