If human beings evolved from monkeys, why do we still have monkeys today?
I want to ask a question about evolution. If human beings evolved from monkeys, why do we still have monkeys today?
That's a great question! Evolution is a complex process, and while humans and monkeys share a common ancestor, we did not evolve directly from modern-day monkeys. Modern monkeys and humans diverged from a common ancestor around 25 million years ago. Evolution is also not a linear process, and while some species may go extinct, others may continue to evolve and adapt to their environment.
