[quote]Question 4: Why are there monkeys if we evolved from monkeys?
Answer: I'm no biologist, but this one is very simple to answer if you've ever taken a 7th grade science class. We did not evolve from monkeys, but we have a common ancestor with them. Also, this has nothing to do with atheism whatsoever.[/quote]
Fun fact: the first form of humans evolved due to a mutation in the gene for jaw strength, causing them to have significantly weaker jaws than regular monkeys. A monkey's massive jaw strength fuses the skull plates very early in life, stopping brain development early. Without the powerful jaws, their brains were able to develop much farther.

I actually heard the reason we are so smart is because if meat. Humans were stupid vegetarians prior to Homo Habilis, which was the first to eat meat, but they were scavengers eating from fresh corpses. Homo Erectus were the first hunters and became even smarter. Fire creation discovered about one million years ago which helps digestions and killing diseases, followed by farming. You know the rest. Now based on this you might think vegetarians are dumber than omnivores, but that would be overlooking much information. Protein and an adequate amount of calories is what made us smart. Now meat seems to do more harm than help given the correlation with high blood pressure and risk of cancer, as well as poor farming practices ruining the environment. Idiots putting process artificial garbage in their body doesn't help either. At least we have good health and delicious substitutes available now.
