"...then why are there still monkeys?"

Maybe us intelligent people should stop telling the zombie people that humans evolved from 'monkeys'. More precisely, we evolved from a shared ancestor, an even more primitive primate, but that's just too difficult to grasp for the walking braindead.

They counter what scientists can prove with 'if humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?' That, kids of the future, was recognized long ago as retarded reasoning.

I therefore propose that we start saying 'dogs evolved from wolves.' Not only is it true, but religiots agree, because they know that breeders breed animals to strengthen certain characteristics.

Chickens today, for example, weigh four times more than what they weighed just 60 years ago. They were bred that way to provide more meat. Same applies to cattle, and other domesticated animals, and vegetables and fruit. 

 

The very same principle applies to dogs. The German shepherd dog of today looks vastly different from that race just a 100 years ago. Even the cute chihuahua and Maltese poodle can call wolves their ancestors.

You can thus counter a religiot with his 'why are there still monkeys' question with 'if dogs evolved from wolves, why are there still wolves?' 

Ah, dumb it down. And that's how you trip the wires in a zombie's primate brain. 

Or, in simple terms: Just because one race/breed/species evolved, does not mean that the original one went extinct. Even when a big dog and a small dog does not get along, does not mean they're not related. 

Our little domestic terrorists, cats, that play all innocent in windowsills during the day but terrorizing the neighborhood at night, are related to other much bigger cats in the wild. 

Homo sapiens, us, are part of the animal kingdom, we're not that special that we are apart from it. Today we are vastly more educated, clever and informed - okay, that's debatable when looking at religious people - than our predecessors that archeologists dug up. A 16-year-old child today knows more than a man of 60 in 1850. 

We evolved, right before our eyes, in just the past hundred years. Look at male teachers on class photos of year 1930 and compare it with male teachers of today. Look at their foreheads. Today it's upright, because the brain literally became bigger. That's evolution. 

When scientists can prove - and they can - that us humans share deep in the 90s percent of our DNA with primates and even with pigs, it's time the zombie people start accepting facts. But then they'll first have to ditch godsnotty junk tales of talking snakes and zebras getting their stripes during a magic spell, and grow TF up.
