Default Do we come from Apes?
taking into account that the picture of man emerging from apes and gradually standing up was just made up and has no scientific authenticity (you know the one i mean) do you think we came from apes?

We have the same biological ancestors as apes. there was a primative ape that began evolving it split into two species of ape one evolved into human beings the other evolved into common modern day monkeys, that is my understanding of it.

Im not sure, but I heard a good point somewhere that, if we evolved from apes, why are apes still around?

Of course we did. We're all part of the same family and our DNA structure is basically identical.

not contentious?



Dr. David Pilbeam (a distinguished professor of anthropology) suggested the following:

Perhaps generations of students of human evolution, including myself, have been flailing about in the dark; that our data base is too sparse, too slippery, for it to be able to mold our theories. Rather the theories are more statements about us and ideology than about the past. Paleoanthropology reveals more about how humans view themselves than it does about how humans came about. But that is heresy.
