I doubt anyone denies adaptation. I think people refuse to believe our ancestors were monkeys.

"I think people refuse to believe our ancestors were monkeys."

Some people, perhaps. In reality, nobody teaches that the species leading to humans were "monkeys." They were not. Monkeys and Primates developed in different directions, while having common predecessors.

Humans are not monkeys. They're primates.

Funny... nowhere in Darwin's studies does he suggest man evolved from monkeys... This is a myth pushed by the Church.

Humans and chimpanzees share 98.4% of there genetic DNA makeup....not a 100% but quite a lot.
