Question Detail
Question
The theory of evolution indicates that: a. Monkeys evolved from men b. Man evolved from monkeys c. Man and Apes had a common ancestor d. Man evolved from dinosaurs
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Evolutionary theory proposes that humans and modern apes (like chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans) share a common ancestor that lived millions of years ago. It does not say humans evolved directly from any modern ape species.
Hint
Think of a branching tree, with humans and apes as separate branches from an ancient common trunk.
