If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
Well, because we're not monkeys.
We're fish.
Now, knowing you're a fish and not a monkey
is actually really important to understanding where we came from.
People that take and consider this, they don't think about what they're even being told, that they evolved from a sponge or that we all evolved from literal jellyfish.
That's what evolution teaches, is that we evolved from jellyfish.
I always like to ask people, do you think that your ancient ancestor was a fish?
You know, it's like the incredible Mr. Limpet 2.0.
I wish I wish I were a fish. Well, according to them, we were fish millions of years ago.
Many of us were taught evolution wrong.
You and I are fish.
One fish lineage came onto land and gave rise to, among other things, the mammals and reptiles.
Perhaps it's better still to think of us as a little fish out of water.
