Because humans did not evolve from apes and monkeys. Please gain some knowledge by doing a little research about where we actually came from, GOOGLE is your friend. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...0_W0Cg&usg=AFQjCNG4OsXOniBS3IDmNp0BHkJ-avr-iQ

This is a common misunderstanding. People often believe that as chimps are our closest relatives, then we evolved from chimpanzees. That isnt what it means at all. It means that we share a more recent common ancestor with chimps than we do with any other species, but human took one evolunationary path from that common ancestor, and chimps another. Both species have evolved for the same ammount of time, just differently. You might argue that humans are a "higher" species than chimps, becuase you believe them to be superior, but that is an entirely subjective judgement, and it would be untrue to say that humans are "more" evolved than chimps.
Who are "those" people? :shrug: It seems Google is OK for research , Bing as well, Dog Pile too. They are all very similar, aren't they?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
What separates us from the apes is that we walk upright on land and became mostly carnivores, hunting land prey. Since we did not compete with the apes food source, there was no competition; they did not die out. As such, early humans and apes co-existed.
How would you rather they disappeared? And make like the sp3cies never existed? Im one that did some poking for answers. Evidence shows we have evolved from them, but now Im in denial.
Humans are apes, specifically a species of the clade of Great Apes (including humans, the orangutan, the two species of gorilla and the two species of chimpanzee), as opposed to the Lesser Apes or "gibbons." If that doesn't strike you as intuitive, spend a few minutes watching a professional gymnast. The species of apes from which we evolved no longer exist, just like the species of apes that the gorillas, chimpanzees or orangutans evolved from no longer exist. But there are quite a few cases in which both an ancestral species and a descendant species do exist. Polar bears evolved from grizzly bears (although some say it was the brown bear) about 100,000 years ago, when the current Ice Age began and the Arctic climate created an environment in which an animal like the polar bear could thrive. The rest of the continent was still an environment in which the grizzly (or brown bear) could thrive, so that species did not become extinct. The bald eagle is another species like this. It evolved quite recently--perhaps only 15,000 years ago, from a very similar Asian species, I think it's the white-tailed eagle. It adapted to the conditions in North America, which are not quite the same as in Siberia, and its cousin is still well-adapted to the slightly different conditions in Siberia. It does indeed often happen that when a new animal (or plant or bacteria or any kind of lifeform) speciates, its parent species attenuates. But "often" is not the same as "always." It is also extremely common for one parent species to spin off more than one new species.
That is not an answer. ToE totally holds that humans came from chimps, al biet by a curcuitous route with sub-branchings. Connect the dots and see. The correct answer is that all life is made from the nano-particles of the earth ['dust']. This explains why there are resemblances in dna and skeletal imprints - as opposed cross-specie mutations. ToE does not display graduated imprints between two species, and the lone and singular evidences presented is subject to millions of other reasonings than the ToE conclusions.
Some humans look like birds, hippos, ducks and rats too. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
