People confuse scientific theory with "theory" in the general sense.
A SCIENTIFIC THEORY is one in which it explains a phenomenon via evidence.
A theory in the general sense is merely a guess.
Not monkeys. A common ancestor of modern apes.

Actually, define "different"
Each animal is unique.
You can't hear as well as a dog.
You can't see as much of the visual spectrum of certain insects and birds.
You can't hold your breath that long or run that fast and you aren't that strong.
Define "civilization"...other species have their own communities.
We weren't the only species similar to use. Neanderthals, Homo Habilus, etc.
Go take some anthropology/biology classes at your local community college.
Yeah. There must be a big conspiracy to discredit your 2000 year old religious views instead of actually trying to understand how shyt comes to be. Its clearly more reasonable to accept "god did it" than to invest the time into catching up with the rest of modern science.
I have a degree in this shyt, so keep the ignorance to yourself.
Plus, before you say "you can't prove this..." yes i can.
We can REALLY get into human evolution if you truly want to.
Again, this started with calling facts, and you know exactly what I mean. Stop trying to be slick. I'm not someone you can play that game on.
1-Again, trying to be funny, to hide the fact that your "fact" isn't a fact.
2-That article is discussing language, not the ABILITY to speak in cohesive speech patterns.
I asked how did we get the ability to speak, unlike our ape family members, and other species in this world who are close relatives to us.?3-I'll give you that, but again it's a theory, not a fact that you are claiming explains the truth of our human history.
4-Link doesn't work, but I have an idea what it will state, but I want you to prove this theory to me. I watch nova also, I LOVE PHYSICAL SCIENCE, and come up with theories daily, as well as try some of them out, so this won't be a walk in the park. Come correct or don't come at all.
5-That article doesn't say anything about black, and sheep, being the only animals with kinky hair.
6-You're being funny again!. You know damn well what I mean. A dog has a mouth like me, a heart like me, a brain like me, intestines like me, lungs like me, and skin like me, so why are we different, and continue to be.
7-Neanderthal are still close to human since their genes are still seen in everyone but people form Africa, so try again.
Please don't link articles, that aren't answering my questions. Maybe you should use YOUR brain, and you may find you have been duped.
