Question

You go the zoo with your friend. He points to a bonobo chimpanzee in the exhibit and says "Evolution says that humans used to be monkeys, just like that one. I don't believe in evolution because there is no way humans evolved from monkeys!" According to what you learned in this course, how would you respond? "No, we didn't used to be monkeys but we did evolve directly from a combination of two extant species of great Apes." "Evolution is linear, so it cannot be true" In a way we are so similar to monkeys, and they evolved slower, so one could say we evolved directly from monkeys such as chimps. All of the responses are correct "Humans and monkeys are extant species that exist today, so they have each undergone their own independent evolution for years".
