MadSci Network: Evolution |
Hello Stephanie. The most important thing to realize is that humans are primates. All primates evolved from a common ancestor. So all monkeys, apes, gorillas, humans, etc. share a common ancestor. I have some links below that you might like to look. The first will give you information about the common ancestor of the primates. http://daphne.palomar.edu/earlyprimates/default.htm The second will allow you to move through the phylogenetic tree and find the common ancestors of different types of animals. http://phylogeny.arizona.edu/tree/phylogeny.html
Try the links in the MadSci Library for more information on Evolution.
