What did the monkey come from, how did the monkey come about, and what did it evolve from?

Monkeys and our human ancestors are the same, but in the process of evolution, each other's environments are different, and eventually different evolutionary results are produced. Some of the ancestors evolved into monkeys, and some of the ancestors evolved into humans. Biologically, humans and monkeys are both primate higher mammals.

Monkeys, or primates.

It first evolved from the rodents that lived in the forest, and the omnivorous nature of humans, apes, and monkeys, as well as the five fingers and toes, were all inherited from rats, but the tail degenerated when monkeys evolved into apes. It is also for this reason that mice are now used in scientific experiments - rats are the closest mammals to primates.

All life on earth evolved from single-celled organisms, and single-celled organisms were demuted from proteins, so they were all derived from the source of life - proteins.

The ape is fromReptilesOviparous animals evolved。Apes are the oldest primates.

That is, the common ancestor of man and all his modern apes. It can be traced back to the Paleocene 65 million years ago. It is a timid mammal that loves to scurry around on the ground and feeds exclusively on insects.

The ape's eyes are forward, both on the same plane. The forelimbs are similar to human hands, can grasp objects, are very good at climbing, and are mostly active in trees in the forest.

The habits of apes

Apes are found in almost all tropical regions.

Generally prefers to live in groups and live in trees. Even a small monkey bite can leave a scar that is difficult to demobilize. They are very clever and difficult to catch. They howl vigilantly before enemies get close.

Apes have well-developed brains, strong learning ability, and are good at imitation. Apes generally live in groups, and some species of groups have leaders. Apes are mostly omnivorous, feeding on wild fruits and vegetables, and some species also eat insects or other small animals.

Human beings evolved from monkeys, I believe everyone knows this sentence, but some people have asked again. If humans evolved from monkeys. Why are there still monkeys? In fact, this question is raised because of the common misunderstanding of biological evolution.

Primitive humans began to appear about 3 million to 2 million years ago.

The development of intelligence and culture is an important indicator of the evolutionary development of human beings.

Australopithecus is the most primitive hominoid family that is differentiated from apes, with mixed ape-human characteristics, and can walk upright.

It represents a transitional stage in the evolutionary process from ape to man.

They lived between 5 million and 1.2 million years ago in East and South Africa.

Their brain volume varies from 450 milliliters in the early stage to 725 milliliters in the late stages.

They may have the ability to improvise on the use of branches, sticks, and rocks like modern apes, but do not have the ability to consciously make tools (stone tools).

About 2.5 million years ago, Australopithecus evolved from Australopithecus to the earliest primitive humans who used and consciously made stone tools, Homo sapiens.

They lived between 2.5 million and 1.5 million years ago, representing the early ape-man stage in human evolutionary history.

They have an average brain volume of about 640 ml.

The stone tools they make are very simple and crude chopping tools made of gravel, known in archaeology as the Olduvey culture.

So far, the human fossils and cultural sites in this evolutionary stage are mainly distributed in East Africa and Yunnan Province in China.

The Yuanmou ape man in Yunnan, China, lived about 1.7 million years ago.
