Evolution or Creator

[Andromeda18_]

That's a pretty common misconception used by anti-evolutionists to decry the theory. All it really serves to do is muddy the waters. The best way to classify what humans evolved from is 'ape-men'. At some point, the evolutionary paths split into human and great apes, there after human-ancestors went under massive and, evolutionarily speaking, super fast changes to become modern man. Monkeys branched off long before that. The term 'the missing link' refers to the as of yet undiscovered common ancestor of the earliest human and great ape splits.

Just trying to clear up a coupla points, boss.

Again with the clarity. I've had a look around, the current theory is that Humans haven't evolved since at least 250,000 years ago. Most evolutionary scientists agree that if you were to travel back in time, steal a new born baby and bring it back to the present and raise it in an average American family it would do equally well in school, live to 75 and stand 5'11" tall. The factors that influence all that sort of thing are purely environmental/nutritional/connected to advances in medical science and sanitation.

THANK YOU!!! Someone who actually knows we do not descend from monkeys (we must read the same articles and watch the same documentaries )! I was going to tell them that if nobody had done it but I'm glad someone did. At most we could say we're the monkey's cousins.
By the way, why did you chose 5'11 when the average height of an American Male is 5'9''?
