How does evolution work? 🤔🤔

To survive, living things adapt to their surroundings. Occasionally a genetic variation gives one member of a species an edge. That individual passes the beneficial gene on to its descendants. More individuals with the new trait survive and pass it on to their descendants. If many beneficial traits arise over time, a new species—better equipped to meet the challenges of its environment—evolves.

In other words!!!!

"Survival of the fittest"is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory as a way of describing the mechanism of natural selection. The biological concept of fitness is defined as reproductive success. In Darwinian terms the phrase is best understood as "Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations."

How are humans and monkeys related? 🤔

Humans and monkeys are both primates. But humans are not descended from monkeys or any other primate living today. We do share a common ape ancestor with chimpanzees. It lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. But humans and chimpanzees evolved differently from that same ancestor.

All apes and monkeys share a more distant relative, which lived about 25 million years ago.

So never say or believe "We are from Monkey", we are from totally another family.
