Premise: Evolutionary theory maintains that we evolved, very slowly, from our ape ancestors.
Question: Why do we still have apes?

For all those times you’ve wondered: “What is going on in her head?”

“Riddle me this: Todays question for which there is no answer!”
Why ask a question to which you have conviced your self there is no answer?
Here are some posibilities of why one would ask a question to which there is no (percieved) answer!
The posibilty of HOPE
Hope that there is answer in order too…..
posses a higher wisdom and knowledge
to seek greater meaning in the life of the planet or indeed one’s own world.
To seek confirmation of Despair
‘Vanity, vanity all is vanity’ said the crier
I believe life is meaningless would someone please confirm it – there is no answer is there? “no”
well thats what i thought anyway
But maybe there is an answer…….but lets seek clarity on the question.
Is what’s goign around in your head about apes – human existance or your own meaning and purpose??
Seriously? *bangs head on desk*
That’s like saying, if Australian people and American people came from Europe, why are there still Europeans?
Just because one population evolved into something else, it doesn’t mean that *all* of that species had to change into something else, that’s the very basis of divergent evolution. A sustainable population got cut off from the rest, separated say by sea or desert or what have you, and evolved separately from the rest to adapt to different conditions.
For the record, humans are not directly descended from any of the modern day primates; we’re more like cousins. Apes and humans shared a common ancestor millions of years ago. As that common ancestor species spread out into other areas, they encountered different environments, some staying in the forest in one geographical region (apes), while in another region, others perhaps slowly adapted to a gradual disappearance of trees that created the savanna or ventured into it for a new food source (humans). A bit simplified for ease of explanation, but there you go. I’m sure there plenty of good books if you truly wanted to know more about it.
