If man used to be a monkey can you tell me what a monkey used to be???

shut up... challenge an idea after knowing what youre talking about... youre making yourself sound ignorant..

Ok... say it with me...

"science

does

not

say

man

used

to

be

a

monkey."

The only people that say that are the uneducated Christians.

When you can actually understand that, come back and we'll chat.

A lemur.

...

The ancestors of modern humans and monkeys parted company after their ancestors parted ways with the ancestors of lemurs.
