      because we share a lot of our genes with apes. I have no idea what you look like so could bot possibly comment.

      Darwins theory of evolution suggests we did evolve from monkeys and this is what most people believe. We share alot of our genes with apes so this is where the theory came from. I can;t see what you look like but I am guessing you probably don’t look like a monkey.. I have never met anyone who does!

      Darwin’s evolutionary theory is that we did in fact evolve from monkeys. Today we don’t see many humans swinging from tree to tree and only eating bananas so i think we are getting less and less monkey like. I have never seen anyone who looks like a monkey so i’m sure you don’t.

      We didn’t exactly evolve from monkeys but from a common ancestor. There was a famous drawing that made it look like we developed from monkeys and so the myth started.
