What did man evolve from, and are orangutans the ancestors of humans

The common ancestor of humans and modern apes was Australopithecus forest. Orangutans belong to the modern ape, and they share a common ancestor with us

Man was formed by the evolution of apes! Orangutans are not the ancestors of humans!

No, man evolved from apes.

Gorillas began to evolve differently from humans at the end of the Miocene (23 million years ago to 5.33 million years ago), and chimpanzees did not diverge from gorilla evolution until the middle of the Pleistocene (2,588,000 years ago and 11,700 years ago)! So there are subspecies differences in the relationship between humans and chimpanzees, and the difference between the two is usually not large! After the differentiation of humans and gorillas, it seems that the chimpanzees did not evolve at a corresponding rate in the process, and there are several reasons for this.

Chimpanzees are still in the early stages of differentiation, and the various traits of its species are still primitive and take a lot of time to accumulate!

The evolution of chimpanzees was squeezed by humans, and the development of biological evolution was predatory. This will massively deprive other species of development from the point of view of their own needs. After the rise of humanity, other species on Earth have declared that they have no chance.

There is no other path to development than to become a Chinese food for protected animals or humans. Of course, there are many things that cannot be eaten.

Chimpanzees and humans have similar genes, but the differences between them are deep and wide, and we can compare the two from several completely different perspectives. For the first time, we can compare the lifespan of humans to be longer than that of ordinary chimpanzees in terms of survival time. There are fewer individuals in chimpanzee species who can live longer than 50 years, and humans can live about twice as long, and this data can be fully valid, both from a long time ago and now after improvement.

The root cause of this phenomenon may be related to dietary habits, the difference in food is not limited to promoting better brain development, and the main difference in longevity may be that the meat-rich gene is more compatible with our human genes.

Scientists spent years meeting all the basic environmental conditions to develop chimpanzees' ability to learn language. Judging by the results of the experiment, chimpanzees know how to express longing for an object and know hundreds of words, but they cannot really grasp the language that we humans define, that is, vocabulary and grammar. For example, giving an orange and giving an orange are not the same thing.

We humans are aware of this difference at an early age. It seems that it is innate to create sentences that are able to combine and arrange words on their own, to create sentences with new expressive meanings, but chimpanzees are not suitable for this ability. Scientists also say that through grammatical innovations, this is only one of the gaps with other primates, although humans have more complex ideas.

Because the current orangutans have adapted to the social environment, the previous ancestors had to evolve because they did not adapt to the social environment, and they also had to go through a long process.

Their evolution is relatively slow, so in this case, they are still in the cave, not human.

Chimpanzees are homologous to humans, so why didn't chimpanzees evolve to resemble humans?

Because orangutans are relatively intelligent animals, their IQ is comparable to that of a human five-year-old child. And orangutans are primates, and they can use tools just like humans. And according to the history of mankind, we humans came out of the forest.

Because of survival, we walked out of the forest and into the grassland. Because there are not so many trees in the grassland, there is no place for our forelimbs, so we gradually evolved to walk on two limbs. And the reason why human beings have such a glorious civilization is because we not only use tools, but also make tools.

And all of this is inseparable from the imagination in our brains.

In the early days, we, like other animals, ate raw meat. However, because there are fires in the forest from time to time, and we occasionally eat charred animals, it is better to develop cooked meat. So we began to explore fire, and gradually invented drilling wood to make fire.

Therefore, many human inventions are based on needs and explorations, which is also the most powerful attribute given to us by nature.

Although our limbs are not as strong as animals, we can occupy the top of the food chain with the tools we have invented. It has only been hundreds of thousands of years since human beings came to this planet, and they have developed civilization attributes such as law and etiquette. However, every technological change of human beings has occurred at a certain fixed time.

For example, in the twentieth century, scientists in Europe and the Americas invented hundreds of objects in a short period of nearly 100 years, which laid a good foundation for modern technology. Let mankind move from feudalism to civilization.

However, even now, we human beings are far from reaching the first-level civilization, so there is still a long way to go on the road of science and technology in the future. Nowadays labor has become the cheapest, and what is valuable is the mind and the mind. Therefore, only continuous learning and progress can create a better future.

The ancestors of humans were not orangutans, but an ape called an ape, and now the apes are said to be extinct, so there will never be any more animals that evolved to humans! Orangutans are divided into gorillas and chimpanzees, gorillas are about meters tall and chimpanzees are less than 80cm tall, while apes are between gorillas and chimpanzees (apes are similar in height to humans), the difference between apes and orangutans is that apes are more agile and their limbs are more prominent, but their intelligence is not much, and apes are mostly active in trees, while orangutans are generally only active on land.

Because humans evolved from apes, orangutans are also a type of apes, so their essence is different branches on the same branch, while humans are more completely evolved, and orangutans are creatures closer to apes, so orangutans are the ancestors of humans.

Because Darwin founded the theory of evolution in which humans evolved through orangutans, it is said that orangutans are the ancestors of humans.
