humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor

>>14658865
if we have the same common ancestor then why didnt they get smart like us?

>>14658870
Perhaps they were smarter than us and said NO, GO AWAY evolution
And evolution btfo'd

>>14658870
We clubbed their skulls, some of them still survived tho and are now responsible for like 80% of crime in the usa

>>14658870
If you have the same ancestors why are you not as smart as your relatives?

>>14658948
I am

>>14658951
Obviously not since you don't understand basic principles of heredity.

monkeys evolved from rats
in a million years, what are now monkeys will be human, and what are now rats will all be monkeys. lungfishes will evolve into rats and so on down the line.

Biopsychology is based off of ethology which discusses evolutionary processes for explaining behavior and intelligence

I like monkeys

>>14658859
Because not all of us get to evolve into something better
Evidence: you

That doesn't answer my question. Try again.

>>14659041
You didn't ask a question

If god made humans from dust why is there still dust around?

>>14659157
because dust is dead skin cells

>>14658859
Monkeys evolved from humans. Say one thing humans can do better than monkeys?

>>14659216
Mathematics? Technology? Reproducing themselves?

>>14659238
Who says humans are better than monekys at mathematics? Has there been any studies done on monkeys' mathematics abilities?

>>14659238
Humans do more of that, sure, but only because they value it mor. It doesn't mean that they're better at it.

>>14659247
Whatever

You call monkeys dumb, yet monkeys don't create nuclear weapons

>>14658859
>if humans evolved from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?
Because the monkeys that are here are not the monkeys that are there or to put it in another way. You're being misled by an elementary category mistake, leading you to think that that 'monkey' thing is indicating anything other than an abstraction. Humans are either monkeys or they're not. They're not both and not neither. Simple as that. Biologists don't seem to care at all about such category mistakes, making them blurt out statements like we 'came' from monkeys.

Monkeys also don't need to work or pay money to just survive

>>14659284
monkeys don't fall for psychological warfare tactics like fake nukes

>>14659295
>Monkeys also don't need to work or pay money to just survive
People have survived most of the time without money, without "working" if you mean it as working in our society.
And it's not a proof of intelligence...
Monkeys don't produce nuclear weapons, and even if they wanted, they could not because they don't have the intelligence to learn that by themselves.

Technically monkeys eat bananas and potassium is radioactive so if they throw a banana it can be considered a nuclear weapon

If you have a non-retarded brother, does that answer your question?

>>14659314
No
