Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scientists have long accepted that humans and primates evolved from a common ancestor. This means that both humans and primates share a common evolutionary history and that we diverged from a common ancestor millions of years ago. There is no evidence to suggest that humans evolved directly from dinosaurs or birds, and while modern primates have certainly influenced our evolution, we did not evolve directly from them.
