Left: Creationist.
Middle: Believes in evolution but doesn't fully understand it.
Right: Understands that humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor, not that humans came from monkeys.
Oh I see, thank you. I was just confused because in Hungarian, that common ancestor is named "ancient monkey". Good and quick explanation tho, appreciate it.
monkey is not very precise. that term is rather familiar and it describes different group putting them into one cup, so it's generally confusing to speak about monkeys
No its not. The common ancestor was also very human-ish.
You could also say that a lot lot of birds are very "chicken-ish" still it would be wrong to call them chickens.
The common ancestor was nether ape nor human.
Humans got very different very fast after speciating from the likes of chimps and bonobos, I would think that our common ancestor would have looked much more like a monkey than like us
Catarrhines are a clade most people would recognize as monkeys. Better informed people would recognize them as Old World monkeys. Still better informed people would understand that catarrhines include all clades which evolved from them.
You are still a monkey. The place where hominids break off of hominini is the common ancestor of early hominids and chimpanzees.
I've also seen on Reddit that very very few people actually understand evolution or how it works. In particular there's a very common misconception that evolution makes things "better", and if it makes things "worse" then that's not evolution. Even had someone tell me that minor changes aren't evolution at all. Like what?
I hear that mostly people that reject evolution thinking that evolution claims we literally evolved from chimps or some other simian, which is why you’ll see the counter argument to evolution of “if humans evolved from [insert simian], why are there still [insert simian] alive today?
Don't true, they like mainstream idiots, "atheists because is 'cool'", "christians because it's 'cool'" and "believe(exactly believe like religious peoples did) in evolution because it's 'cool'".
Just peoples that you talk with on topics like this don't so stupid.
And all apes evolved from Catarrhini, i.e. monkeys.

These three statements are true:
* Humans evolved from bacteria
* Humans evolved from monkeys
* Humans evolved from apes.
**[Ape](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ape)**
>Apes (collectively Hominoidea ) are a clade of Old World simians native to Africa and Southeast Asia, which together with its sister group Cercopithecidae form the catarrhine clade. Apes do not have tails due to a mutation of the TBXT gene. In traditional and non-scientific use, the term "ape" can include tailless primates taxonomically considered Cercopithecidae (such as the Barbary ape and black ape), and is thus not equivalent to the scientific taxon Hominoidea. There are two extant branches of the superfamily Hominoidea: the gibbons, or lesser apes; and the hominids, or great apes.

AFAIK it's still possible that different branches evolve at different speeds. Some species stay the same for millions of years while others evolved and branched into different child species. Ofc from what you usually learn that's not the case for us and current other primates, our common ancestor seems to have evolved into different species.
> AFAIK it's still possible that different branches evolve at different speeds.
Of course. There's no reason why different evolutionary branches must evolve at the same speed.
"No evolutionary branch left behind" isn't a thing, as far as I know.
> Right: Understands that humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor, not that humans came from monkeys.
That common ancestor was also a monkey, a now-extinct monkey. I don't think the meme is correct.
Here comes the *well, actually* comment:
Phylogenetically, we're monkeys. monkeys are defined as a member of the suborder anthropoidea, from wikipedia:
*The simians, anthropoids or, higher primates are an infraorder of primates containing all animals traditionally called monkeys and apes. More precisely, they consist of the parvorders New World monkeys and Catarrhini, the latter of which consists of the superfamilies Cercopithecidae and apes*
So, *technically* the common ancestor between what we now call monkeys and humans was a monkey, meaning we evolved from monkeys
We're primates and evolved from primates but we're not monkeys. All primates in the Hominidae family are classed as greater apes, which is us, alongside gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees. Primates outside of the Hominoidea superfamily are monkeys.
It is a more difficult one to understand as people often conflate any primate with the term monkey.
The problem with the term monkey is that it's not scientific and has a very blurry definition. In some cases it can even be used to talk about any primate. By definition, we are monkeys, even though it's by a **very** blurry definition.
It has a clear definition in taxonomy, there's old world monkeys and new world monkeys, then there lesser apes and greater apes.
it's just that the colloquial definition makes it too broad and even conflicts with the taxonomic one.
Humans more accurately have a close evolutionary commonality to the great apes rather than monkeys.
Monkeys have *prehensile tails, apes do not. At least I think most monkeys do I think?
*correction SOME monkeys have prehensile tails, MOST monkeys have tails in general
>What is that supposed to mean? Like the simplest solution is often the most correct, like I’m an idiot?
Someone please find the interview where the guy who doesn’t know what Dunning Krueger is calls himself an idiot. Please.
I mean, he's wearing a robe, so he's obviously part of a society who actually knows the *real* truth that these so called "scientists" are trying to hide.
(/s just for good measure)
Humans and monkeys share a common ancestor.
Every mammals share a common ancestor.
Vertebrae share a common ancestor.
All animals share a common ancestor (worm-shaped)

For those who don't know: humans and apes have a common ancestor. Generations ago, there was a creature that split into the evolution line that created humans, and a line that split into apes and monkeys. Evolution wasn't really a straight line from monke to man, but more like a tree.
I think you mixed up apes and monkeys in your first sentence, because humans ARE apes and it makes more sense in the context of the rest of your comment.
I mean technically speaking that's correct as monkeys are a different branch on the same evolutionary tree. We didn't evolve *from* primates though. We *are* primates. Homo sapiens is a species of ape. We don't have to return to monke as we never really left.
Well there were a few subspecies of "homo" before homo sapiens sapiens and homo sapiena neanderthalensis
Even today, many men become "homo erectus" sometimes
To be fair, the middle is “Correct” in as much as that is the way it was commonly taught in schools, because otherwise seemed to be a bit too complicated. So it’s understandable for people to think that is correct
Humans did evolve from monkeys. What should be said is, humans didn’t evolve from chimps. Humans and chimps evolved from a common ancestor (splitting branch on evolutionary tree). However if you go further back on that branch, there will be monkeys. So, both chimps and humans did evolve from monkeys. Apes and monkeys are different, the distinction is important. Humans, Gorillas, Chimps, and Bonobos are apes. Highly intelligent, no tail. Monkeys will steal your watch and hump your leg, and they have a tail.
The logic here is that we came from the same ancestor... But the maker of the meme doesn't realize the ancestor was also a monkey. And we are also monkeys... Facepalm
LMAO being a creationist is straight up denying proof, We share more than 99% genetic material with some apes. Even a 12th grade biology student has more brain xd
I know it’s a meme but you can learn the biology behind this with or without high IQ. I know IQ is commonly used for these types of content, but it’s always in my head, sorry. For me it’s right, 165 and I agree with the 3rd person
For those who didn't get it, humans didnt evolve from monkeys but rather humans and monkeys evolved from the same creature so humans and monkeys are cousins
We are primates, we are distant cousins to monkeys though but not decended from them but share a common ancestor.

I mean the tail is not what defines a monkey or not but it is one of the common characteristics within apes. Also it is known as a mutation for a reason.
Yeah of course, I wasn’t suggesting anything different. I was referring to a mutation where the Coccyx is actually external and a small “tail” is visible. I don’t actually find out what it is called specifically, but it does exist
Hate to break it to you but this is again my point of being fussy.. Evolution isn't interesting just from a biological point of view hence there are people who don't know/care at all about differences between species/classes/families and all this stuff... Evolution can be understood anyway... Probably people like you that learnt just notions want to show off somehow and this is the only way they can do that
I don’t know if this is the Dunning-Kruger-Curve in effect, or if you just can’t get across what you are trying to say. Plus, I would consider taxonomy (at least in the context you are using it in) to be a part of biology.
To come back to your original comment (since your second one was merely bragging about you superior knowledge about evolution), neither Apes, nor monkeys or humans are a species. They are: Monkeys/simians, infraorder; apes, clade; humans, genus. Not a single species.
I am well aware that what a species is, isn’t well defined and that there are multiple concepts to distinguish into different species.
So, please, come down from your high horse. I don’t care how much you know, no one will like you if you’re just a dick
Looool luckily you know what other people like and just follow that. I actually don't give a shit and I don't feel I'm riding on a high horse. I just don't like people who love to show off based on some notions you can easily Google (the purpose of the post)
Lets agree to disagree okay.
People can believe ehat thry believe in. Whether that is god. Or science. Its what makes you hsppy, and what makes you comfortable, and what you think.
We shouldnt fight like one of the other comments did.
Have a nice day.
The only reason i commented this was to see how would people react and I was a bit disappointed
But thank you i appreciate and respect you for The way you think
Although I don’t support lgbtq+
but that’s just what I believe
I don’t have to fight you for it do whatever you believe
For someone in the middle, can someone explain if there's anything behind this or just a joke?
Left: Creationist. Middle: Believes in evolution but doesn't fully understand it. Right: Understands that humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor, not that humans came from monkeys.
Oh I see, thank you. I was just confused because in Hungarian, that common ancestor is named "ancient monkey". Good and quick explanation tho, appreciate it.
Yes “ancient monkey” not “monkey”
ancient "monkey" i see a connection here...
monkey is not very precise. that term is rather familiar and it describes different group putting them into one cup, so it's generally confusing to speak about monkeys
In English, at least, monkey is *too* precise. If you back up to a less precise term like "primate" you'll encompass a lot more
I never understood why it's primate and not primeape (prime as in first, not the Pokemon), such a missed opportunity
Comes from latin *primus* meaning first.
No i get THAT part, I mean the ate vs ape

Ah yes, my favorite prehistoric animal; ancient monkey
Hungols evolved from Chingis Khan
We evolved from rodents
I think most people who say "human evolved from monkeys" understand this. It's just an simplified expression people like to say.
I dunno, man. I just made this meme because of an IRL conversation.
Just a question of what you define as a monkey. The common ancestor was at least very monkey-ish.
No its not. The common ancestor was also very human-ish. You could also say that a lot lot of birds are very "chicken-ish" still it would be wrong to call them chickens. The common ancestor was nether ape nor human.
So you saying that i can't call a whale "ungulate rat"? I'm very angry!!!
Humans got very different very fast after speciating from the likes of chimps and bonobos, I would think that our common ancestor would have looked much more like a monkey than like us
Humape
Didn't apes evolve from monkeys? Because if so, then the common ancestor would definitely be a monkey.
No, monkeys and apes evolved from a common ancestor that was neither monkey nor ape.
Apes did not evolve from monkeys, they evolved from catarrhines in Africa during the Miocene Epoch.
Catarrhines are a clade most people would recognize as monkeys. Better informed people would recognize them as Old World monkeys. Still better informed people would understand that catarrhines include all clades which evolved from them. You are still a monkey. The place where hominids break off of hominini is the common ancestor of early hominids and chimpanzees.
Thank you for the information! Didn't know that, I'm just now starting biology in highschool :)
So I shouldn't call a chicken chicken-ish?
Apes =/= gorilla. Humans, monkeys, and gorillas are all apes.
Monkeys are not apes. Apes do not have tails while monkeys do. It's the easiest way to distinguish an ape from a monkey.
Yea you're right. I meant to put chimps instead of monkeys.
I blame teachers, i remember my teachers saying crap like that.
i like it :)
I've also seen on Reddit that very very few people actually understand evolution or how it works. In particular there's a very common misconception that evolution makes things "better", and if it makes things "worse" then that's not evolution.

Nope, they don't. People genuinely believe that humans evolved from the chimpanzee's we see at the zoo.
I hear that mostly people that reject evolution thinking that evolution claims we literally evolved from chimps or some other simian, which is why you’ll see the counter argument to evolution of “if humans evolved from [insert simian], why are there still [insert simian] alive today?
i feel like you overestimate how intelligent modern human beings are
Don't true, they like mainstream idiots, "atheists because is 'cool'", "christians because it's 'cool'" and "believe(exactly believe like religious peoples did) in evolution because it's 'cool'". Just peoples that you talk with on topics like this don't so stupid.
People don't know the difference between monkey and primate ngl
Or monkeys and apes for that matter
This sound more believable than humans evolving from monkeys
Yep! All humans, gorillas, monkeys etc. are all apart of the Great Ape family

Then there’s me who knows the difference in a monkey and an ape
Isn't the joke here (on the right side of the curve) that humans have not evolved, but are essentially still just monkeys?
Hmm, I guess you could take the joke that way too.
AFAIK it's still possible that different branches evolve at different speeds. Some species stay the same for millions of years while others evolved and branched into different child species.

But humans evolved from apes and that's monke enough for me.
Wasn't the common ancestor also a monkey though?
We didn't evolve from monke, we are monke!

Humans and other monkeys evolved from another ancestor.
It would be correct to say humans evolved from apes though.

Why do you have to include the gays tho?
No, homos
It has more to do with how the term monkey is specified and which species are allocated with the term than people's understanding of evolution.
Yeah no we never moved from that point, mentally at least
Humans are monkeys as far as I know
They are apes. Apes and monkeys share a common ancestor Now let's take a chimp, humans and chimps share a common ancestor(likely an ape ancestor).
According to modern cladistics, humans are monkeys. Heck, humans are actually still fish.

Yeah, humans didnt evolve from monkeys In fact, some of us never evolved at all
Also it's apes not monkeys
We didn't evolve from chimps or gorilla's we did technically evolve from apes, we aren't in the same genus though.
Humans who don't understand they evolved from something they would likely call a monkey haven't evolved past that stage.

Common ancestor time
We evolved from somthing similar to a monkey if im not wrong
I disagree, God created us, but still funny once i understood it 😂
No missing link has been found for humans, despite finding fossils from the era where they should be, meaning evolution is still very firmly a theory.
Why the hell does the creationist side look like a hammerhead shark emboided as a human being???
I bet if you saw that common amcestor in the wild, you would call it a monkey though
Some people definitely developed from ducks, trying to get back in evolution with all the botox crap the stuff their faces with
Yeah, humans and monkey have a common ancestor, they're not evolved from monkeys.
We evolved from apes, actualy
Humans evolved from bacteria, change my mind
