we and the ape evolved from a common ancestor
This was just a theory made by some mad man, No one will ever know for sure how we humans got on this planet, We may have came from apes, We may have came from fish, We may have been put on this planet some other how, All that matters is we're here now.
I've heard that we evolved from a common ancestor, not DIRECTLY from apes. .-.
We evolved from a common ancestor. The apes took another direction - what we observe is MICRO evolution
They might be, if the evolution idea is right. If it is, and they are in fact evolving, itd be happening too slowly for you to notice.
We are all slave created from aliens that have been put here once we were no longer needed. Jk
You've never seen the documentary movies??
The orangutans are developing into the administrators, gorillas will be the soldiers, and the chimps, the scientists!
It's all theory
Perhaps, because, we didn't evolve from the apes at all. We find no evidence that we ever evolved, in DNA similarities, or in the fossil record. Even Darwin said that there should be millions upon millions of these intermediate links. How many have we found? Only a handful of disputed ones. DNA only proves common designer. There are still millions of differences in just the 10% of similar DNA to the apes. But, if we were created from a common designer, this is exactly what you would expect - similarities. Plus, how did they get the different DNA anyways? There's no scientific evidence that supports the theory that we evolved from apes/common ancestor.
whatsername, what is observed in these laboratory tests are variations within kinds caused by a loss of genetic information. Has any of your mice or fruit flies ever produced a non-mouse or fruit fly? Of course not. No matter how resistant bugs become to pesticides, they'll always be a fly, or mosquito. They're actually even losing information. They're losing that certain enzyme that the active ingrediants in the pesticides lock on to. When they're put back in a normal population, however, that mutation that was beneficial only in that enviroment, disappeares. That certain fly or mosquito just can't make it. It's considered an abomination in a non-pesticide resistant population. This is the complete opposite of evolution as well. This is an example of losing, not gaining.
No, because it takes millions of years for a noticeable change to take place.

The way that I understand it, apes evolved from apes, we evolved from proto-humans and there were several species of humans that died out. Homo Sapiens survived the extintion event with only a few thousand surviors. I remember that the article refered to the event as an evolutionary bottleneck. Im sorry, but that is all that I can remember about the subject; it has been a long time since I read it.
The modern ape has evolved since we've rocketed away from every species as a result of numerous things. The modern ape is only modern today as we are the more intelligent specie because we have gone away so quickly that the modern ape is lower and really has little room to catch up to us because we keep them down. We kill them because we have the brains and barbaric attitude to do so. We catch and cage them. This not only goes for the modern ape but safe to say also any lower specie or sub-human being up to today. We humans have evolved this way.
it is only a theory that still has no strong basis. and if we really came from apes, then it must be a special specie of apes. i am a Christian, so i would be believing that God created us. Faith works.

Am I missing something here?
And Rmoran: Yes, a rock. You know you're evolution story. 20billion years ago there was a big bang. 4.6 billion years ago the earth cooled off and formed a rocky crust. Then it rained on the ROCKS for millions of years, filling the oceans. And in these oceans appeared a soup of complex chemicals. Then the soup came alive.... and here we are. Yes, you believe we came from a rock. Both sides are religous. I admit that my side is religous, but for some reason, you try to hide it.
