Oh wait, except it's not an ancestor. It's just another monkey... er, ah... lemur.
So we have observations of monkeys becoming people?
I don’t think so, but what has that got to do with evolution?
Sorry Ben, you’ve got to know the pedantic trap that being set here.
Stormy here will say that we didn’t come from monkeys; instead, we and monkeys come from a common ancestor.
Which for all intents and purposes was a monkey, but to the pedant it wasn’t a monkey because hey, monkeys didn’t exist yet. Some bugaboo ancestor existed that has bones lying in a tarpit somewhere waiting to be found. And it looks strangely like a monkey.
The scientific theory of evolution has shown that modern humans and “monkeys” share a common ancestor, it does not state that monkeys became people.
Your misrepresentation of science only makes you look foolish. Doesn’t the 9th commandment say something about bearing false witness?
“So we have observations of monkeys becoming people?”
Ah yes. And gobs of evolutionary links.
Also, we’ve observed life coming from non-life.
And beneficial mutations.

BEErock = monkeys becoming people
Those that vote for BEErock = people becoming monkeys
Well, if there's no evolutionary connection between monkeys and people, how do you explain so many of the posts on these types of threads?
