Are monkeys our ancestors?
Are monkeys our ancestors?
This question always comes in my mind whenever I see this amazing creature. I am not a an expert to say either they are our ancestors or not but one thing is clear that they are very similar to human beings.
I tried to do some research online about it that what experts say about it. I found some interesting informations-
Humans and monkeys are both primates, it means a member of the most developed and intelligent group of mammals, including humans, monkeys, and apes.
There are different races of monkeys but which one's DNA is similar to human being? I found that humans share about 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees, making them our closest living relatives.
One more interesting fact I found that experiment to inseminate women with monkey sperm and impregnate female chimpanzees with human sperm failed.
There might be endless research studies available but seeing monkey always gives me a strong feeling that despite they can not communicate verbally as human being they are intelligent and have lots of similarity to us.
I also found that this animal widely abused in laboratories by performing various experimenting on them in the name of human welfare. I strongly condemn this laboratory experiments performed on this fellow earthling.
During my various trips I found this animal and captured in my camera. Here sharing some photographs, hope you would like it.
No they are not, but monkey social behaviour is similar to that of apes. Humans and apes share a common ancestor in the distant past, and apes and monkeys further back still in the evolutionary tree.
Got it.
I think so they are our ancestors.
Aren't these baboons in your pictures?
Don't baboons have longer nose and face feature? I don't think these are baboons?
You are right. I got confused. :)
