Among African Apes - Edited by Martha M. Robbins, Christophe Boesch - Hardcover - University of California Press
By learning details of the social lives of great apes, people come to see the value of protecting them.In addition to habituation, scientists use other indirect methods to study the great apes. It can take months and months to see a change in behavior, in which a gorilla or a chimpanzee will wait a few minutes before running away, and then even more time before they will resume their normal behavior with people nearby
You have to look no further than news about taunts (and tossed bananas) from the stands of soccer matches and hateful photos of Barack and Michelle Obama to realize how stubborn this association has been. Take two studies that Goff worked on: In one, students who were primed with words associated with cats before seeing a video of police officers beating a man considered the beating unjustified
Interestingly, there is nothing about the rate of medical progress today that would lead me to conclude that I will have no chance of living for an indeterminate and long period of time. (Personally I think the brain slugs already infested this discussion thread, but as things are petering out I think I'll ring down the curtain in a day or so

According to the site, Punch had children with a white woman who passed her free status to her children, who went on to become successful land owners in Colonial Virginia."Two of the most historically significant African Americans in the history of our country are amazingly directly related," said Ancestry.com genealogist Joseph Shumway in a statement
Competition
It would be wrong to think that these organisms decided to do things in a certain way! Generally any specialisations have arisen over a long time, and biologists normally explain this in terms of evolution rather than a quick or guided process. If the different species compete with one another directly for the same resources, this may have some influence on the size of populations and their distribution
Anyways, do you know how bugs developed flight? I had always considered the fact that several unique genetic paths had developed flight (bats, birds, bugs) to be an indicator that our current understanding of how species change is flawed and that there must be some sort of trigger that we are missing. While the ages reported may be representative of the area they took their sample from, my experience shows that 26 and even 22 is much older than the age that woman started having children in the US
Human societies clearly show they have a large majority of woman-man partnerships with a minority equilibrium of polygynous extended families as male resources permit. Yet when Gilby's team examined observations from four chimpanzee communities in Uganda and Tanzania spanning 28 years, they found no evidence that female fertility affected whether males hunted or not

Refuting Evolution chapter 6: Humans: images of God or advanced apes? - creation.com
Population genetics calculations show that animals with human-like generation times of about 20 years could substitute no more than about 1,700 mutations in that time.14 Embryo similarities? Teaching about Evolution states on page 1: As organisms grow from fertilized egg cells into embryos, they pass through many similar developmental stages. That is, random mutation plus natural selection is expected to generate the information equivalent of 12 million words arranged in a meaningful sequence
That we and the extinct hominins are somehow related and that we and the apes, both living and extinct, are also somehow related is accepted by anthropologists and biologists everywhere. Humans have short ischia (and long lower limbs), facilitating speedy actions of the hamstring muscles, which extend the thigh at the hip joint, while great apes have long ischia (and short hind limbs), which give them powerful hip extension for climbing up trees
The Many Myths Surrounding Charles Darwin
Whatever you believe about it, you can see why many Christians through the theory of evolution being presented up until the last century or so, and the Catholics from the beginning, have had no major problem with evolution. So these could not have come about as a result of random mutations unless each system of parts mutated into existence all at once, or each part was selected by itself even though it provided no advantage when it formed before the other parts of the system
Ape to Human Evolution
Ardipithecus ramidus gives us a picture of the line of hominids, to which we belong, dating back to 4.4 mya, only one million years later than our last common ancestor with chimps. (Clip art from freefever.com) Until the study of Ardipithecus ramidus was completed, scientists believed something quite similar to ape to human evolution
The following little conundrum illustrates the triviality (and misleading nature of) the cladistic requirement in relation to the question at hand (humans evolving from apes, or not). d)Many people in this world might have encountered hair loss problem that leads to the ultimate bald heads to annoy them and causes them to have no choice but to seek help from clinic, hair salon and etc

I am very much into molecular biology and read a lot in this area, but I never came across any articles or books that so clearly explained that 'evolution is not a linear process'. "The fallacy of linear evolution is most clearly illustrated by the analogy of asking; how can I share common grandparents with my cousins if my cousins and my grandparents are still alive?," says Dr Willis
CC150: Why are there still apes around?
The question is rather like asking, "If many Americans and Australians are descended from Europeans, why are there still Europeans around?" Creationists themselves recognize the invalidity of this claim (AIG n.d.)
How come there are still monkeys? - RationalWiki
It nicely highlights how our definitions might be a little arbitrary when put next to reality, but this has little bearing on the misconceptions underpinning the fallacy. Given a simplistic view of evolution, it's easy to assume that humans are more complex than monkeys and that consequently "humans evolved from monkeys"
The Straight Dope: If man is descended from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?
We are less similar to the Asian apes orangutans and gibbons and even less similar to monkeys, because we share common ancestors with these groups in the more distant past. As the two groups become isolated from each other, they stop sharing genes, and eventually genetic differences increase until members of the groups can no longer interbreed
With how big a human's brain and skull are vs a woman's pelvis, if we went to a higher gestational age we wouldn't be able to come out and it would cause infant and maternal death. I've heard various scientists try to bumble through hypothesis for why immobility is a evolutionary advantage and I'm sorry but no matter how you spin it - it is not an advantage
