origin of species

A little girl asked her mother, "How did the human race appear?"

The mother answered, "God made Adam and Eve and they had children, and that is how all mankind was made."

Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race descended."

The confused girl returned to her mother and said, "Mum, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they evolved from monkeys?"

The mother said, "Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his."


As a matter of fact, we did not evolve from monkeys, but from apes or, to be even more precise, the great apes. Gorillas, chimpanzees, and others. And to precise even further, we're cousins with them and do not descend from them. We all had a common ancestor.
