assuming you ARE serious.....in your responses.....

No, Humans did NOT 'come' from apes....we actually ARE apes.

More specifically, we, Homo Sapien Sapien, are a branch of others.....those that we put into zoos, and call 'Apes'....

We didn't 'come' from them....we share a common ancestor......this is a very differenent component to perceive. One that is usually misunderstood... to tragic results.

Not this argument again -.- The so called "ape ancestor" was also an ape..

Humans did not evolve from apes. It has been proven by the discovery of "ardi" that we came from a walking species. Through the analysis of the hand, they discovered no evidence linking our knuckles/hand to that of an ape.

Basically Darwin was wrong.

oops

I guess he covers it, though most people here will say it's bullsh*t.. It's probably true..

Yes, but enough on your thoughts about religion, what do you think about science?

Humans and apes have a common ancestor.

Humans were captured from other planetary systems and were dumped on Earth as a prison planet. Humans did not in any way "evolve" as evolution states.

Darwin never said we came from apes. Apes and humans have a common ancestor.

That common ancestor is where "ardi" (and eventually humans) came from and is also where apes came from. That's what "common ancestor" means.

Humans and apes split from that common ancestor a long, long time ago, so that's why we are different (different evolutionary paths) -- but the fact that we once shared a common ancestor is why we are so similar.

So apes are not our "Parents" (so-to-speak) but rather our "cousins". Apes may not be our "parents", but -- just like cousins -- Apes and humans have the same "grandparents" (so-to-speak).

Here's an example:
Lions and Tigers: Obviously lions and tigers are related -- but that doesn't mean that one "came from" the other -- it simply means that both lions and tigers came from one (possibly extinct) source.

No we didn't come from Apes, we are just related

we come from et's thats why you are in a et frum to hear that right lol

Thank you Phage, i thought i was gonna have to say it. Like he said, we share a common ancestor nothing more nothing less.
