is it true we all come from a monkey??

No, its not true there's a misconception when we say we come from monkeys what it means is "humans and monkeys have a common ancestor based on the DNA sequence so its in correct to say we come from monkey.

look at the monkeys man if we all evolvoled from them then why are there still monkeys, were they to stupid to evolve with us or what? nope i say we are as we always were if not why havent we evolved farther?

That would be the monkey shiners of the world. Now if you believe monkeys came from mosquitoes that would be a different story

Noo we werent monkeys...\nit was said that we evovled from monkeys in other words we were ancestors. We humans look like monkeys, even a long time ago, because we share the common ancestors with the monkeys... It is believed that not too long ago (compared to the life history of the earth), a certain type of old ape started to evolve toward what ended up as humans today, but some of them also evolved toward the ape direction and gave rise to the apes of today. It is not hard to imagine why we look so similar to apes since really we have not had a time long enough to really diverge our appearance since we originated from the same ancestor.

It is thought that man came from ape like ancestors, not quite monkey's.  \n\nIt could take hundreds of thousands of years for macro evolution to occur.  Wait around that long, and i guarantee there will be NEW species.  So it is still happening.\n\nThe fossil record is not complete because fossils are hard to come by, not everything fossilises despite contrary belief.  In fact it's amazing we have as much info as we do.\n\nHow on earth does it take less belief to believe in a god, there is no evidence whatsoever for this!  At least evolution has enough evidence to fill several hundred warehouses, what do you have, testimony.. Yeah right, thanks, i'll keep to evidence, not faith to inform my decisions about the world around me.

We evolved from primates, but not monkeys specifically.  We did not evolve from birds although we do share a common ancestor with them a long ways back.  Although evolution has not been conclusively "proven" it is supported by a preponderance of evidence and accepted by the vast majority of the scientific community.  And hutsong's "evidence" against evolution is primarily fictitious.  Don't be fooled by his authoritative manner - he's still full of crap.\n\nFor a defense of evolution see my answer to this question:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiUBrphbhCO3D7mQOX5JXrrsy6IX?qid=1006032117223\n\nAnd these links:\nhttp://www.txtwriter.com/backgrounders/Evolution/EVpage16.html\nhttp://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/lines/index.shtml\nhttp://fermat.nap.edu/html/creationism/evidence.html\n\nOr go to your local library and find an introductory biology book.

We don't believe in Darwin's theory. Like my honey said, if man came from monkey why haven't monkeys continued to mutate. After millions of years, monkeys are still monkeys.If monkey mutated to the form of man, shouldn't  man continue to mutate to something.....

I have often pondered this question too.  I believe that scientists would say that human evolution involves a new genetic trait that resulted in some, but not all monkeys.\n \nSome say monkeys, some say birds, fish or small rodents...it's all weird.

There are some folk who feel that humans are closely related to monkeys; so on that note when you have strong traits (wider nose or ears that stick out more than the norm), your chances go up to resemble a monkey. Especially if you like studying and imitating their faces like the person who is viewed along with the question possibly does.

Monkeys?  Humans evolved from this source, however, it wasn't over night, this took place over thousands of years.  There are snow monkeys anyway, living in the Himalayas so that blows your theory.

Do u mean my father is a monkey...??????

You've got a few misconceptions there.  I'm going to assume you are really asking a question and not just fishing for agreement, so I'll try and straighten them out.\n\nFirst of all, IF man evolved from other primates, it would be more proper to say that mankind arose from -A- primate.  To draw an analogy, if you build a house out of lumber from trees, it doesn't mean there are no trees left in the world... only the trees you used to make your house are gone.  So it is perfectly plausible for monkeys to still be around even though something else might have evolved from them.  Populations become isolated and develop different traits all the time - try comparing someone from China, Iceland, and Africa some time.\n\nSecondly, I don't suspect any evolutionist would say that man evolved from monkeys.  Instead they would suggest that they had a common ancestor, and both man AND monkeys are different from that ancestor, just in different ways.\n\nAnd last is the question of transition.  And transition implies you're going somewhere.  Since none of us know what life will be like a hundred million years from now, it may very well be appropriate to say that EVERYTHING now is in a state of transition from what it used to be from what it will be.  Looking for 'half-fins' and the like is a straw-man argument, though there is certainly no dearth of vestigal organs and DNA around in most species, if you only look for it.\n\nI respect your desire to dispute the validity of evolution.  Most true scientists WELCOME having their theories challenged - it can only make them stronger and get rid of bad ones.  But if you're going to tilt at a windmill, make sure your lance is pointed in the right direction!

*Sigh* This question has been asked so many times, it's almost sad. Here's the deal: we did not evolve directly from monkeys and apes. Humans, monkeys and apes all evolved from ONE COMMON ANCESTOR. This common ancestor has since died off. So, let's put it this way: monkeys and apes are our distant cousins, rather than our distant brothers and sisters. That make sense?\n\nHere's a better question: if man DIDN'T evolve from monkeys and apes, why are we 99% genetically similar to them? \n\nThank you, by the way, for stating monkeys AND apes in your question instead of just monkeys. Strictly speaking, we are more related to apes than to monkeys. And yes, there's a difference.

My God, I'm finally beginning to see the truth.  You have convinced me, despite all of the scientific evidence available and common sense, that evolutionists do indeed have it all wrong.\n\nWe have NOT evolved from apes.\n\nIn fact, based on the number of people who profess to believing in the exact wording the Bible gives for Creation, I now know without a shadow of a doubt that ......\n\n\n WE ARE STILL APES!\n\nI accept the invitation.  What can I bring?  I know of a great place to get apples.

simple: humans didn't evolve from monkeys!!! :D yeah, I believe in creation too-- and the God who made it.

fossil evedence of what?  that you came from a monkey?  I did not evolve that way.  We belive there was a flood, we belive in dinosaurs so the fossils pose no problem we just don't belive that we came from monkeys so yes we can go to natrual history musuems, i have visited quite a few with my church by the way
