Give scientific reasons for the following statements:
It is not true that human beings have evolved from chimpanzees.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both human beings and chimpanzees had a common ancestor a long time ago. This common ancestor is likely to have been neither human or chimpanzee. The first step of separation from that ancestor is unlikely to have resulted in modern chimpanzees and human beings. Instead, the two resultant species have probably evolved in their own separate ways to give rise to the current forms.
That is why, it is not true that human beings have evolved from chimpanzees.
