The First Apes: Where Did God Come From?
When you were little you asked a lot of questions, right? But did you ever think that we actually descended from apes? Some parents will say that we came from God...but then you might wonder. Where did God come from? So did we really descend down from monkeys? Well let’s find out. Let’s go back to the beginning of time, not when the Earth was created, but when the first apes stood on their two hind legs. The first apes that stood on their hind legs, were the Australopithecus afarensis, they were actually the first apes to be formed. They look a lot like humans, actually. When they first walked they must of failed a thousand times. So, imagine yourself as a little baby trying to walk-ok so, you never really got it on the first time either;

    Chimpanzees are hominid species of apes native to Africa and the closest related to humans which they share 95-98% of human DNA. Earlier research reports that the oldest known primates are about 65 million years old with the chimpanzees emerging about 20 million years ago.…

    Before Jane Goodall’s discovery scientists believed that non-human primates lived simple life. It turns out that they are highly intelligent, emotional creatures that live in complex societies. This new discovery lead people to feel compassion and concern for the animals. Leakey’s once said “new we must redefine tool, redefine man, or consider chimpanzees as humans”. We now see that we are not alone with being advanced that there are other non-human primates that also are advancing.…

    Many processes have taken place to shape humans from the Australopithecus Afarensis to the modern day human also known as the Homo Sapien. As a result, the two defining traits that occurred by taxonomy are the effects of brain size and bipedalism. Humans, like other primates are considered as Order Primates in the Hominidae family and therefore are a prime example of taxonomy when the two diverged into different species. During taxonomy when humans diverged from their ancestors 6 to 7 million years ago, the result is the differences such as walking upright, brain size and overall skeletal structure are prominent due to the divergence of humans and other primates. Although primates and humans both share many anatomical, behavioral and socialization traits the differences are drastic and are all a result of selective pressures.…

    Since humans and other primates share a variety of characteristics, other primates provide important observations about early humans. Homologies between hominids and other primates enhance to behavior because the physiological and cognitive formations that manage to control human demeanor are likely related to those of other primates than to members of other taxonomic groups. The reality of this broad collection of homologous traits, the commodity of the average evolutionary history of the primates, means that nonhuman primates give beneficial examples for understanding the evolutionary ancestry of hominid morphology and for resolving the basis of human nature.…

    The ancestors of the primates were mouse like mammals that were awake in the nights, lived in the trees and they eat insects. The first primates exist after the dinosaurs die. The first primates were the ones that had larger brains about 45 million years ago; these were similar to monkeys, apes and humans.…

    It is suspected that a new species (humans) was created because there was no longer a need for swinging from trees. Upright walking on the ground had requirements for alterations in the foot for the better speed and balance. These uncommon traits soon became traits that evolved to permit movement on the ground. Though humans and monkeys are genetically common, their natural habitat required different physical traits to evolve for them to stay…

    I thought that this question was very interesting because primates are the closest living relatives to humans. Primates are fascinating because they resemble a primitive or basal version of ourselves and at the same time are also quite different from us as well. There is a large number of primate species both in the African and Asian continents as well as in the Americas. Those species that are found in Africa and Asia are collectively called old world monkeys and apes. The species found in the Americas are known as new world monkeys. An interesting feature that many of the new world monkeys have that old world monkeys do not is a prehensile tail which can be used as a fifth limb. Another interesting difference is that thanks in part to their prehensile tails the new world monkeys are almost entirely arboreal while the old world monkeys are both terrestrial and arboreal.…

    Man originates from Adam and Eve and animals were created by God during the creation week. My neighbor on the other hand believes that we did in fact evolve from apes. Because my neighbor does not believe in God I think it is important to first share the evidences for God such as order, harmony, and complexity. The presence of a conscience also indicates a creator God. Humans were created in the image of God not animal. The evolution model predicts a common ancestor of man and apes. Genesis 3:20 indicates that Eve is the mother of all the living. Humans and chimps have differing chromosome counts, we can also consider the difference in jaws between human and ape. The skull of the ape differs from man there is the quadruped and the biped skull. There are also major skeletal differences indicated by their walking styles. There was a scientific claim about our oldest ancestor reported to have dated 6-7 million years, a few years later scientists dispute the…

    Chimpanzees are categorized in the order primates; suborder Catarrhini and family Hominidae. They are the closet living relatives. Today, there are two species of chimpanzees: Common Chimpanzee (Pan Troglodytes) and bonobo (Pan Paniscus), both are in the same category as humans, monkeys, and gorillas. Humans share with them 98% of the genetic code and according to experts “believe our common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Then two species broke off into separate lineages, one ultimately evolving into gorillas and chimps, the other evolving into early humans called hominids.…

    We can see right from the beginning that practice is the key factor to go further in our life. If you see a one year old child who struggles to stand up on his feet, we see his effort and persistence. We can also see that after his constant persistence, he can finally stand on his tender feet and thus he is able to toddle. It is due his continuous practice that from that time on he is able to walk and he is confident about his ability to walk.…
