I have two questions about monkeys and evolution

If we come from monkeys.Why are monkeys not turning into humans still?:confused:

If we came from monkeys.Why doesn't someone make a machine that evolves stuff.And evolve a monkey into a human?

Environment.

We were the weaker ones forced to be ground dwellers and adapted resulting in larger brains.

Tree dwellers didn't need as much adaptation so evolution branched out.

Hey, you shouldn't insult monkeys like that... We didn't come from monkeys but from apes although apes and monkeys have a common ancestor

And if christians evolved from Jews then why are there still jews

There is a machine that evolves stuff, it's a relatively slow, one way, time machine, its called time

Why bother making this thread if you're not going to participate in it?

If I am descended from an Irishman, why are there still Irish?
Because you did descend from an Irishman.
I thought the question was If we come from monkeys, why are monkeys not turning into humans still?
So your question, if it is to correspond, should rightly be, if I descended from an Irishman, why are Irishmen not extinct? :D

The answer is still, because you descended from an Irishman.
Why are people not descending from apes, monkeys, or the imagined common ancestor?
The answer - Because man didn't descend from any of them.

Wh can't man reproduce this process in any lab?
Because it never happened.

...and @ChristineM And if christians evolved from Jews then why are there still jews?
Because ... um. Christians evolved from Jews? That's so wrong.

The time machine wouldn't work even in a billion years, as every time lapse video shows man's ability to speed up any process.
evolutionary changes can be produced 150 times as fast by the use of X-rays as they can by the ordinary processes of nature.

The Speed of Mutations
According to "Molecular Biology of the Cell":
Only about one nucleotide pair in a thousand is randomly changed every 200,000 years. Even so, in a population of 10,000 individuals, every possible nucleotide substitution will have been "tried out" on about 50 occasions in the course of a million years, which is a short span of time in relation to the evolution of species. Much of the variation created in this way will be disadvantageous to the organism and will be selected against in the population. When a rare variant sequence is advantageous, however, it will be rapidly propagated by natural selection. Consequently, it can be expected that in any given species the functions of most genes will have been optimized by random point mutation and selection.

According to the book "Evolution," by Ruth Moore, it is possible to speed up mutations with radiation:

No believer in evolution is going to answer your questions honestly.
To your second question, this article provides an interesting answer.
How To Speed Up Evolution: Switch Goals
Nadav Kashtan, Elad Noor and Prof. Uri Alon of the Institute's Molecular Cell Biology and Physics of Complex Systems Departments create computer simulations that mimic natural evolution, allowing them to investigate processes that, in nature, take place over millions of years. In these simulations, a population of digital genomes evolves over time towards a given goal: to maximize fitness under certain conditions.

Like living organisms, genomes that are better adapted to their environment may survive to the next generation or reproduce more prolifically. But such computer simulations, though sophisticated, don't yet have all the answers. Achieving even simple goals may take thousands of generations, raising the question of whether the three-or-so billion years since life first appeared on the planet is long enough to evolve the diversity and complexity that exist today,

The evidence supports that we share a common ancestry with monkeys, but we did not evolve from monkeys. Monkeys did not and do not turn into people. If that happened, it would falsify the theory of evolution.
If we came from monkeys.Why doesn't someone make a machine that evolves stuff.And evolve a monkey into a human?
That has been an unsuccessful program for decades, but it isn't evolution. It is called politics.

We can make humans much more rapidly and easily following the old fashioned method, so there isn't any compelling reason to research into the wild and improbable notion of making them from monkeys.

When a human scientist as just a human who dies as just a human. Is thinking doesn't incorporate human death and humans death body cellular conditions in their thesis they are lying.

A direct lie.
A known direct lie.

Human egotism for group status about egotism human behaviour feelings etc.

As life and death exists on the same planet in the exact same living conditions a natural atmosphere.

Science as a peer group teaching once accepted that life was a mystery as a scientific statement for humans. To be accepted as a human truth for reasons human life continuance.

The theme humans science. I can take any naturally formed earth product. Artificially by my human choice forced it to change and gain an artificial human chosen status.

Every step of the choice taken by a biological thought. AI status the God of a human scientist.

Mind status I hence consciously agree my human god terms that I related as a human are less in terms natural presence... God less than my human ability to force it's change.

How you came about human self Idolating.

Theist human studies whole body type doing all ape to human comparisons.

By body.

Themes by science humans bio chemistry body status destruction to equal the ape.

As apes in our exact atmospheric life support birth ape babies.

If by status time shift their thesis an ape now births a human baby all natural human's would be deceased.

As the atmosphere supports biology death the same as biologies life.

Because God has not decreed it and made the necessary adjustments.

If we came from monkeys.Why doesn't someone make a machine that evolves stuff.And evolve a monkey into a human?

If it is just a matter of DNA then maybe someone will manipulate the DNA one day and keep adjusting it. (fast track evolution)
It would become unethical pretty fast when monkeys started looking like humans.
The questions would then be, Are they really humans?.
Would they be able to marry humans and produce children and would it me ethical?
It would be harder to work out for some than if smart robots are alive or not.
