Human evolution question

[A New Era]

I am doing an assignment on human evolution and I've yet to get the big picture. We have so many species, from A, afarensis to Homo heidelbergensis to neanderthals, and some lived millions of years ago, and some just a few hundred thousand years ago. Where did all these species come from? Did afarensis give born to other species?

Like, where did the neanderthals come from? Where did homo sapiens come from? From what species did Homo Ergaster come from?

If man came from monkeys how come no monkey has ever given birth to a human?

[Module]

All humans come from monkeys, except God's chosen people, who were created by the Lord. You can only accept that you aren't a monkey human if you accept God into your heart. That is the big picture.

monkey didnt gave birth to a human. it wasnt like one day a monkey had a human child and held it up to all the other animals at Pride Rock. we all came from a common ancestor. however, through genetic mutation and migration off africa, different species evolved from that common ancestor. there is probably a evolution map somewhere on the internet.

[JazzRemington]

It is thought that humans are descended from primates, who themselves are descended from (ultimately) single-cell organisms living in the so-called "primordial sea of life." Billions of years of gradual changes in organisms eventually produced humans.

Then why can't we understand monkeys when they talk if we're so related?

Yeah except nothing lives for billions of years, duh.

If you're so damn smart, maybe yuo can tell me why there are still monkeys if they all evolved into humans. Huhhuhhuhhuh!?!?!?!

Simple, that's devolution in action.

It's all in there man.

as we all know donkey kong (ape) came before super mario (human), and super mario came from the donkey kong series. i rest my case.

a couple of days ago i had a discussion on evolution with a jehovas witness creationist, and it is propably the most frustrating thing ive ever done.

Mario is wayyy more complicated then I thought. :(

obviously evolution has split human and monkeys far apart and can not under stand each others language. a simple example would be the north korean language and south korean language evolving into two different languages.

also, man did not literally show up one day. the evolution process took years to complete so a common monkey and common man have the same ancestor but are completely different.

i'm liking this!! lets keep going!!:D

How can there be billions of years of evolution when the world is only 6000 years old?

[redSHARP]

also, why weren't the dinosaurs allowed on the ark? or were they and they just died after the flood? so at some point, Noah had to fight dinosaurs! i don't remember that in the bible.

[Black Dagger]

also, why weren't the dinosaurs allowed on the ark?

Because they never existed.

'Dinosaurs' are an elaborate hoax perpetuated by Marvel in collaboration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dino_riders) with Tyco to test our faith.

[redSHARP]

hahaha...is that really a theory put out by evangelicalism?

[Black Dagger]

Only by tyco double agents, working within the US christian evangelical movement.

One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex. That just isn't possible: UNLESS there is a giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there were such a source, scientists would certainly know about it.

[NecroCommie]

Life came to earth implanted by aliens, most propably the greys (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greys). They control the evolution in order to further their own kind of "terraforming", so that they could later colonize the planet and enslave the human race by using an elaborate virus hidden in the black oil, and spread by a government conspiracy of silence.

How can there be billions of years of evolution when the world is only 6000 years old?

and scientists say that 10,000 years ago there were 5 million humans already on the planet.
