[quote=Kestrel]umans share a common ancestor with apes, first off,[/quote]

[quote=Jorick] Humans did not actually evolve directly from monkeys, we had a common ancestor.[/quote]

[quote=Magic Magnum] 2. We did not evolve from todays monkeys. We and modern day monkeys evolved from a common ancestor. Like how many breeds of dogs evolved from wolves. [/quote]

[quote=K-97]Also keep in mind that we didn't evolve from the monkeys you see today but an ancestor we happen to share with them. How a species evolves depends on conditions, one set of conditions led to humans while another led to modern monkeys.[/quote]

I think we should have a few more people reiterate this.
