I'm getting really tired of hearing the speculation of where humankind came from, for years now, I'm sure that we have all heard that we are descendants of monkeys. The flaw with this statement is that are currently monkeys living among right now, If we are an evolution of monkeys then why did they not evolve as we did?
No, we are not descendants of monkeys, monkeys are their own species and type of animal that flourishes on this planet, just like we do. So if we are not descendants of monkeys where did we actually come and evolve from? I think the answer is so obvious that it's painful to think that scientists from around the world agreed that monkeys was the most realistic conclusion.
It's obvious to me that we came from cavemen, the neanderthal man and evolved henceforth. Where did the cavemen come from then? From an obvious biological source that the rest of the animals on this planet came from as well! The human race has always evolved from the human race, we started out like an animal but learned to become what we are today.
We are also a diverse species, just like a monkey. There are many different kinds of monkeys no? All of them a bit different than the others but somewhat the same. People are the same, we have multiple different races, we are different sizes, we have midgets and pygmies, Giants and geniuses. We are all different but share the similarities of all human beings on earth.
Saying that we evolved from monkeys is like saying sharks evolved from dolphins. Just because they have similar qualities does not make them part of the same tree. Sharks eat meat, so do dolphins, sharks have a dorsal fin, side fins, and a tail, so do dolphins, both species live in the ocean. They must be descendants of each other. No, I think not.
This seems like the lazy way to appeal to the masses and put an answer to any questions about evolution on our planet. Life has flourished on this planet, and each species is diverse in its own way, if you really wanted to get lazy you could say that we all came from the same source, which would be true but very vague as well.
This is my opinion on Our Evolution.
