Well, of course not. Why would we be evolved from something that exists today? That's like saying your great-grandparents are younger than you.

@GlassDog: Wolves still exist today.
GlassDog · 46-50, M
@Rebel1down: Yes, but they've also evolved from the ones we started domesticating. Just not very much because it wasn't long ago.

@GlassDog: True!
Rebel1down · 36-40, M
@GlassDog: But it still holds some validity in this subject. I won't pretend to be smart enough to know. But I think the evidence very strongly suggests that there is a common ancestor between us and modern apes.

@Rebel1down: I think we're both debating on the side of evolution here. Although the wolf comment sounded like you don't believe in it.

@GlassDog: Oh. I must've misworded it. I thought you were arguing that if we "came from" apes why do we still have apes. People misworded that all the time. It makes me cringe.

@Rebel1down: Oh, no. That gets me too. But I understand how what I said was misleading. I was saying that our ancestors are not the same as creatures on earth today. :)

I love Bananas... lol and I have a few family members who look like apes.

@GlassDog: Boom. Someone who paid attention in biology.

@tacomasr5: I'm allergic to bananas.
Rebel1down · 36-40, M
@GlassDog: Wait. That's a thing? I'm sorry. Bananas are tasty. But they give me sour stomach occasionally.
GlassDog · 46-50, M
@Rebel1down: Yeah, absolutely. Apparently it's linked to latex allergies and most people have both. For me, it's bananas, carrots, and tea.

@GlassDog: wow. Three of my favorite things. Well almost all foods are my favorite. But still. That's strange. Carrots, tea and bananas.

@Rebel1down: I've never managed more than a teaspoon of tea. I've eaten carrots and bananas but it wasn't long before I stopped doing!
