Human Evolution: Did We Come From Monkeys?

Science & Reason on Facebook: tinyurl.com AronRa reveals a controversial new taxonomy stating that humans and other apes not only evolved directly from monkeys, but that we are in fact still monkeys right now. — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com — Turns out we DID come from monkeys! In an earlier video, AronRa listed many of the taxonomic traits identifying humans as primates. In another video, he also explained why we are more specifically classified as a species of apes. But he deliberately omitted an intermediate stage between those two apparent levels, because its one that evokes so much resistance it really requires separate discussion just for that one grade alone. No-one argues whether were vertebrates or placental mammals, even though that also means were animals. The fact that were apes can now be verified just as easily. For a while, most people thought the word, ape referred only to extant non-human pongids also known as great apes. There was no consideration given to lesser apes, nor to any of the many ancient apes we kept finding fossils for. Mainstream science sources are just now starting to realize that the word, ape means a lot more than just chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, and that it includes a few extinct hominids that are more humanoid than any of these. So there was a problem with our old method of classification, and it had to be fixed. Over the last two hundred and

    @SuperRooker77 “Evolution played a big part in installing inherited traits in the homo sapien lineage.”
    Along with everything else!

    @Tsuruga0Ren “go search for researches concerning falsifying evolution” No need, it’s never been falsified unless you are willing to believe anything without question. Oh, but then if you’re a creationist you already do that. So no problem.

    “Descendants in denial” hehe… clever. Good video!

    Evloution is a bunch of bullshit. There is no proof of evloution, and a whole race like monkeys evolving into humans AT THE SAME TIME is highly unceartain. So they are saying that each and every monkey evolved into the same thing at the same time. so it would have to be in the genes of each monkey to evolve at the same time as each other monkey so something would have to activate the genes for every monkey to evolve. So I think evloution is bullcrap.

    @ALPHA7640 From which animal did we evolve, then ? And don’t come talking about the god you believe, no religion involved on this chat please, just science.

    Since I began studying primate behaviour, ecology, and evolution in school within the context of my anthropology program, I have begun looking at people differently. I’ve come to start thinking that we are “super-apes,” and that we merit to much study and fascination because we are an oddity. All primates have a large brain:body ratio, but ours is incredible. We have these big bulbous heads filled with gray matter, and we are so complex behaviorally and cognitively. WHY on earth would a

    @McTaggStar: species like us evolve? This question is the holy grail of physical anthropology, of course. But I am beginning to think that few people have a true appreciation for how magnificent we are. I think that the history of the earth can be broken up into three major chunks: first the earth was ruled by archaea and bacteria; then the earth was dominated by terrible lizzards; now, the earth and all its inhabitants are forced into submission by humans. It is so fascinating!

    @ALPHA7640
    I think you are the one full of crap, so I have an idea for… Why don’t shut the fuck up, go grab your stupid bible, go jump in your bed, and hide under the covers from all the scary things in the world that your little brain can’t understand, like evolution, natural laws of physics, and 5th grade math, this should be a world of understanding, not a world of ” if you cant explain it, its gods work” so do us all a huge favor and go die!

    @JamesP5871 Calm the fuck downand act your age. Im just 13 and I think your nuts.

    - what? no, not since punctuated equilibrium back in the 60′s.

    “Im just 13″
    - oh that’s why you think it means that…come back after a biology class

    no we dont come from monkeys God made us

    @McTaggStar
    Man, you got me thinking with that comment! This is what I think. We advance our knowledge more and more each day. The more we advance our technology and understanding the less we’re gonna have to depend on what nature slapped onto our bodies. Way way WAY in the future I can see our bodies being even smaller than they are now and having a GIANT head attached to them. We would also have no hair and less digits (like the pointless nub we call the pinkie toe).

  13. TheYouwontgetit says:

    no, we didn’t…

  14. knucks360 says:

    @TOWPASSIE95 You’re right,we were created by the Cosmic Purple Toad with a gold chain(God).I have a book to prove it,and I’ll quote from it.

  15. WINDTALKER300 says:

    man was created sepratly by god , although man has animal qualities as do other species we did not evolve from other animals , we came sepratly as another species of life on earth,

  16. jeiryasuth says:

    Just finished reading ”science of superstition” now watching this is just perfect =3

  17. dysvanlist says:

    @TOWPASSIE95 Yeah, sure we did

  18. zackishere1 says:

    nope we came from dogs and mushrooms believe it or not

  19. zackishere1 says:

    also in my school we are learning about the species, kingdom, domain, and ect. so on and we watched a video saying that farrr on before us there were… dinosaurs like and they say those were most likely our past, but there was things even before dinosaurs such as dogs, reptiles, cats, beetles, and plants so they broke it down saying we have all of those genes and they broke down all there genes it came down to beetles and dogs it showed that them both are gene like similar, (read next comment)

  20. zackishere1 says:

    (READ COMMENT UNDER FIRST) so then after that simularity it showed dogs and mushrooms were the last after beetles cuz beetles have both genes, at the end dogs have nothing in common with mushrooms, and then they said thats the end of the cycyle

    (im only in 8th grade so please tell me wrong if you think different)

  21. wubante says:

    well what ever you say where does “the First” thing come from?

  22. MrReeses100 says:

    top right is most human

  23. ImUsingDaForce says:

    just like in croatian, there is no monkeys and paes. there are monkeys an humanlike monkeys

    @zackishere1

    “but there was things even before dinosaurs such as dogs, reptiles, cats, beetles, and plants ”

    Not sure what you are saying, but at school they said dogs and cats existed before dinosaurs?
    Do you go to religious school?

  25. gorilla199uncensored says:

    @zackishere1

    “nope we came from dogs and mushrooms believe it or not”
    LOL who told you that?

    How do you come from 2 things?
