qustions I would like to ask..
 
While we are back to the question threads..........

1..If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

2..
Why is it that no matter what color of bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

3..What do blind people see in their dreams?

4..Can you cry underwater?

5..How come only your fingers and toes get prune in the shower and nothing else does?

I think my questions are just as sensible as the next persons.:D

How come if you blow on a dog's face...it gets annoyed, but the first thing it does when driving in the car is put its head out the window?

Not sure if you really want answers but...

We still are apes and belong to the family Hominidae, which includes us along with ourangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas. We share common ancestry prior to monkeys and apes going along their own evolutionary paths.

Did you know that you were a great ape, MD? :p

Is the 'missing link' theory still popular?

I have always wondered about space being infinite. How can something be infinite? It must end somewhere, surely. And if it does, what is beyond?

Missing link is a term used more so in the lay press. It relates to transitional fossils. In Darwin's time, the fossil record was poorly known and people were looking for missing links, which would show a connection between humans and "lower" animals. The later discoveries of Java man, Peking man, Homo erectus etc helped to fill some of the gaps.

A missing link is supposed to show the evolutionary transition from one life form to another. However, very few fossil records capture this transitional phase and missing links only provide snapshots in time.

I'm not up-to-date on evolutionary theory..so you might have to google that one.
