Average Boy Answers Your Questions!
Hi, Average Boy!
I need some advice on evolution. Everyone is talking about it, and I just don't understand why people think we came from monkey people. I hope you can answer my wonders.
Bye,

Hey, Parker.
Great question! I've actually had people tell me that it looks like I may have come from a monkey family. However, if evolution did work, wouldn't my ears be smaller by now?
Animals do adapt to their surroundings. For instance, my cat has developed a nervous twitch that lets him know when Billy walks in the room. That's a survival adaptation. But the main evolution chart that most scientists go by was actually made up. The guy who presented all the facts threw in an extra step — that hasn't even been discovered — to link men to apes.
Not to mention, if monkeys evolved into men then why do we still have monkeys? Wouldn't they be men, too? That's a good question to ask your friends the next time you are talking about evolution. Now if you will excuse me, I want to finish my banana.
Your friend and mine,
Average Boy
