Trying to be funny and still failed. Nobody ever said that.

Yeah, I was just throwing out a ridiculous low number.  In no way was my post meant to be taken as Scientific fact or whatever.  Sorry for any confusion. My number was entirely too low to be taken as seriously as the much more viable 6,000 number as stated by the bible.

Absolutely not true, there is no time for when the world began, 
this was a lie drummed up by shatan himself to make Christians appear dumb...

According to science all earth evolved from the big bang. Once you look at it like that, and not "apes" it might make more sense to you.
Humans are classified as Apes btw.

Ok, but still.. At what point in evolution do we consider it a human being? There has to be a defining moment/element.

I feel you but for me, it definitely is not Adam and Eve.
I personally believe that defining moment has not/will not ever be "found". its like for that to be found, the first humans would have to had be fossilized.

I do believe the first humans were in Africa though, saw a special on it couple years ago.

What is going on in this conversation?

Anyway im pretty sure we didnt evolve from apes, we just had a common ancestor with them.

wouldn't said ancestor, technically be an ape?

And like someone already mentioned humans are classified as ape.


there's something fishy about this discovery, can't put a finger on it.

To answer Atlanta's question, something becomes it own species during the course of its evolution when it can no longer breed and produce viable offspring with related creatures. hope that helps.

No, they were not apes. They were bipedal, lived in trees, but they were not apes. What people don't understand is that there were a VARIETY of bi-pedal primates in the past; however, many died off for many different reasons, including war with #*@* sapiens. In fact, some live within us today: If you research it, about 20% of humans or a number like that have Neanderthal descendants. It is also very possible other ancient species are mixed in as well.

i know many "sub-species" mix during the course of their evolution.....but you officially become you own distinct species when you cannot produce viable offspring with similar related species



Ok if these ancestors were not classified as apes (remember human beings are scientifically classified as ape-also keep in mind that we have multiple ancestors our most direct ancestor were most likely apes), what would u call human ancestors? Either way you cut it, we are apes, are closest relatives are apes, our ancestors are most likely apes as well-or monkeys....whatever you wanna call them. Members of the ++%#-species are considered apes.




Under the current classification system there are two families of hominoids:

• the family Hylobatidae consists of 4 genera and 14 species of gibbon, including the Lar Gibbon and the Siamang, collectively known as the lesser apes.
• the family Hominidae consisting of chimpanzees, gorillas, humans and orangutans[sup][1][/sup][sup][2][/sup] collectively known as the great apes.

Family tree showing the extant hominoids: humans (genus ++%#), chimpanzees (genus Pan), gorillas (genus Gorilla), orangutans (genus Pongo), and gibbons (four genera of the family Hylobatidae: Hylobates, Hoolock, Nomascus, and Symphalangus). All except gibbons are hominids.
