You don't even refute what I am saying.

Countries got about 20 years left as leading economic super power. Unless somebody steps up about the economy, shit is going to get ugly.

Biologist here.

OP you could try to explain by showing him skulls or skeletons of human's closest ancestors and show how they are similar. That's pretty much how we (scientists) established that.

Say that humans aren't really descended from monkeys, but that they are kind of like our cousins. We were once on the same evolutionary path until we diverged. While we are kind of related to monkeys, it's more accurate to say we are related to the great apes, which are larger and more human-looking. But again, they are like our cousins. There is no direct descent, we're all just evolving in parallel.

If you look at the complete skeletons there are a lot of similarities, more than any other animal. Plus, I doubt he knows about genetics if he's just a kid but you can say that this has pretty much been confirmed by many many years of intense research from really really smart people.

You could maybe explain that this is a controversial view that not everybody believes and is based on the assumption that humans are animals too. Oddly, lots of people still refuse to accept this basic fact.
