First: not thousands, but millions of years.
Second: the animal kingdom is like a family tree with Kingdom at the bottom and then branching out into Phylum then Class then Order then Family then Genus then Species.
We evolved from a single SPECIES in the 'primate' ORDER, the 'monkeys' you a referring to that are still around today are similar to the species you and I evolved from but they are not the same. They will all belong to a different FAMILY, GENUS and/or SPECIES to us.
You don't deserve an opinion if you don't at least attempt to learn the facts.

Crusader (05/31/2012) [-] Actually Apes, humans and monkeys are all very similar, but the way we evolved was necessity, and a bit of chance if you believe in that.
The best thing i can compare it to is the rose family and how they started out as the ground covering bushes that we think of, but branched out and one family grew thorns, another grew into trees, and from there divided into apples, pears and quinces.
Still, he was retarded.

That is one of most common missconceptions.
No, we didn't evolve FROM monkies, its just that our bodies and monkies have same ancesstor far back in the past. About 6-20 million years ago.
From that one species others branched out, one of them became chimpanzees, one of them gorillas, and one us.

Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but we didn't evolve from apes, either. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe this common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Shortly thereafter, the species diverged into two separate lineages. One of these lineages ultimately evolved into gorillas and chimps, and the other evolved into early human ancestors called hominids.

Crusader (05/31/2012) [-] We started travelling by land, rather than by tree, so we adapted feet and legs that could carry us for distances.
2 legs are actually more efficient and 4, the first humans practiced exhaustion hunting, rathe than setting up traps or making bows, a group of a dozen guys would chase a gazelle, or zebra, or whatever they could for hours, and eventually because it has to use it's energy to fuel 4 legs, the prey would tire and we got to kill it.
Apes just had to gather plants and such

You can't say tha we are further evolved than then if our bodies are not even capable to survive in the natural order if we did not have our intelligence.

Let's see here how to explain this...
There are still monkeys because we didn't evolve from "those" monkeys, their lives never changed so they had no need to evolve thus they are the same.
Also Elephants are evolving, if you check some recent images and compare them to very old ones you'll see they're losing their tusks, this is evolution. They're losing tusks so they won't be poached.
There was a need to survive and tusks made them a target. Evolution got rid of that.
