An 'ape' is any member of the Hominoidea superfamily, which includes lesser apes like the gibbon, and the greater apes, such as chimps, gorillas and humans.
This kind of relation shows that all of these share a single common ancestor. This ancestor is what we evolved from.

Do you believe that a man came from apes. why did not?
Man did not originate from apes per se, rather we share a common ancestor with them. This is a common misconception about evolution. Humans evolved to fit their environment, apes evolved to fit theirs.
What is the name of the man who discovered people are related to apes?
Charles Darwin
Who are against of Charles Darwin's theory?
Many religions, including the Roman Catholic Church do not believe Charles Darwin Theory on Evolution. They believe, for example, that man did not evolve from a lesser species and that humans are humans before as they are now, contrary to Darwin's theory that man as we know now, evolved, through millions of years, from a lesser species (anthropoid apes).
How was mankind created evolution or biblical?
All the evidence indicates modern man evolved from earlier apes.
Which scientist first put forward the theory that humans evolved from apes?
Charles Darwin was the first person to explain evolution by, what he termed, natural selection. However, Darwin's book Origin of Species only makes small mention of human evolution. In fact, Thomas Huxley, working on the evolutionary basis created by Darwin, was the first person to put forward a book detailing the similarities and differences between apes and humans in his book Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature, which appeared before Darwin properly addressed the issue.
What are the best animals in the history of man kind?
The best animals in the history of man kind are HORSES and DOGS. ----------------------------------------------- or perhaps apes because we evolved from them.
Did 'man' start from apes?
Some people believe in that theory, but some people believe in Adam and Eve. Scientists claim that they have found evidence that we started from apes.
What did Charles Darwin do?
He laid the ground work for the theory of evolution, and created Darwinism (Survival of the fittest.) (or Natural Selection) He traveled to the Galapagos Islands, and on each island discovered new types of Finch birds. He then studied the environment they survived in, and theorized that they must have evolved form a similar bird, and evolved different traits to match the environment they were in. Charles Darwin DID NOT state that man evolved from the ape, or even the Chimp. He stated, in so many words, that the chimp and man (or hominids, which they are referred to) diverged into two separate and distinct species. If, for example, man evolved from the ape or the chimp, there would be no more chimps left! There is absolutely nothing within "On the Origin of the Species" that states that man evolved from the ape or the chimp. This is a farce that has evolved through time since the time Darwin released his works. Charles Darwin studied medicine at Edinburgh and for the ministry at Cambridge.
What is the meaning of the Greek word zoion?
I believe it is a transliteration of ζῷον, meaning 'living being' or 'animal'. It is thus the root of 'zoology' and all related terms.
When did cave men appear?
Cave men, also known as Neanderthals, appeared around 200,000 years ago in Europe and the Middle East. They were a distinct species from modern humans, living alongside them until they went extinct around 40,000 years ago.
