We evolved from primates, but not monkeys specifically. We did not evolve from birds although we do share a common ancestor with them a long ways back. Although evolution has not been conclusively "proven" it is supported by a preponderance of evidence and accepted by the vast majority of the scientific community. And hutsong's "evidence" against evolution is primarily fictitious. Don't be fooled by his authoritative manner - he's still full of crap.
For a defense of evolution see my answer to this question:

pure THEORY...not fact. personally, i did not come from either. life does not start by accident one day when the planets lined up just so... |

God created us.
So not the answer you wanted huh LOL but I had to say it |

A lot of people,including myself and a lot of scientists don't believe in evolution. Darwin's theory of evolution hasn't been proven,in fact most evidence proves otherwise.I don't see how anyone could believe in evolution.There isn't enough evidence to support it.
>Science itself refutes Darwinism.
•According to the theory of evolution, at some time in the distant past there was no life in the universe -- just elements and chemical compounds. Somehow, these chemicals combined and came to life.
•However, scientists don't really know how life came to be. Even Stanley Miller, whose experiments are cited in most biology text books, says that the origin of life is still unknown. The idea that dead material can come to life all by itself is not consistent with scientific observation.
•The leading mathematicians in the century met with some evolutionary biologists and confronted them with the fact that, according to mathematical statistics, the probabilities for a cell or a protein molecule coming into existence were nil. They even constructed a model on a large computer and tried to figure out the possibilities of such a cell ever happening. The result was zero possibility! - Wistar Institute
•Professor Edwin Conklin observed, "The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the Unabridged Dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop."
•Under normal circumstances, creatures give birth to the same kind of creatures. It is established scientific fact that like begets like. On rare instances, the DNA in an embryo is damaged, resulting in a mutant child that differs in some respect from its parent. Although a few mutations have been scientifically observed that are beneficial, most mutations produce inferior offspring. For the theory of evolution to be true, there must be a fantastic number of creative mutations that produce new kinds of offspring which are better suited for survival, and therefore are favored by natural selection.
•Darwinists claim that the reptile-to-mammal evolution is well documented. But for reptiles to evolve into mammals at least some of these transformations must have happened:
• Scales had to have mutated into hair.
• Breasts had to have evolved from nothing.
• Externally laid eggs had to evolve into soft-shelled eggs that were nourished by an umbilical cord and placenta in a womb.
•It has never been observed in any laboratory that mutations can cause one species to turn into another. Despite this, evolutionists believe that given enough time, some animals will eventually evolve into other creatures.
•Evolutionists claim that although we have not actually observed these things happening, that does not mean that they are impossible. They say it simply means they are extremely improbable. Evolutionists think the world has been around long enough for all these highly improbable things to happen.
•Sir Fred Hoyle, of Cambridge University stated that statistically the chances of one cell evolving was the same as a tornado passing through a junkyard and giving you a fully functional Boeing 747.

well monkey came from birds and we came from monkey, lol. I dont know but I have studied about evolution and its belived that we all have come from lower organisms - micro organisms and so I guess we all had same ancestor, this thing is also their in embryology which means that all organisms' embryos look alike and so scientists believe that we have a common ancestor. |

Go to most peoples' houses, it very easy to see, WE evolved from Pack Rats. Scientist too stupid to see this. ;-D |

Don't be a dork. Evolution is a myth. We were created by God, and God alone. |

Evolution- you poor soul- How simple is this---You came from God, God Almighty-- A God you will stand before one-day that will judge you to heaven or hell. Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. It is not too late to get saved! God the creator of Heaven and Earth. He created you from dirt with his hands, one day you will go back to dirt and the only thing left will be your soul that will be judged. Time is short Jesus is coming soon! revelations will be fullfilled- Read The Bible...You are being decieved. |

My answer is from a text book, and it says we evolved,
My god is the text book!! |

my view on evolution is we are all monkeys man. Your girl friends right, don't know where you came up with you came from a bird but I'm pretty sure you can't fly.Unless your on some hardcore drugs or something. |

You both are wrong and u all are wrong indeed.. We came from protoplasm.. then .. It converts into Jelly fish like creature... then evolution take places and changed these creatures into fishes.. These fishes were not like the fish we see today they must have got hands and Evolution change these Fishes into ... Mamals reptiles... and certain creatures we see today we came from our species neither from Monkey nor Birds!! |

This is the real answer to your question.You came from your moms CROTCH.just like I came from my moms Crotch. Nothing good to think about. |

Based on some Anthropology papers of past if would appear that the bird would be the most likely. Primates may have very well evolved from the birds. Explaining the geography of different species spread out over the continents. |

All life evolved from a biological reaction of what scientists theorize was alien bacteria. We did not evolve from monkeys, nor did we evolve from apes. We evolved from a common ancestor. Due to differing needs, we each continued down out separate evolutionary paths. |

...Environmental Adaptation.. but, you didnt hear it from me. lol |

my awnser would be monkeys because i have asked tons of teachers and everything and besides how could a human evolve from a bird. |
