A question about the Theory of Evolution (see inside)

Just asking - The Evolution Theory does NOT state that we came from monkeys right? but rather, we all have a common ancestor. right?

Yeah, that's correct.

Humans share a common ancestor with the great apes, which include the gorilla, chimpanzee, bonobo, and the orangutan. This common ancestor is thought to have lived about 13 million years ago. Of course, we share more common ancestors with some of the great apes, for example, the common ancestor of chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans is thought to have lived about 6 million years ago.

See the chart in the description.

I will have to respectfully disagree with Charles Darwin Theory (and it is just a theory) of evolution. His theory that all organisms evolved through natural selection does not fit with modern humans in my opinion. Why did evolve into hairless mammals just to skin other mammals to use their fur to keep warm. By growing more intelligent there was still no logical reason for modern man to lose the strength of our alleged ancestors. If evolution took place over billions of years there is in fact no reasoning to growth of the human species intelligence over the last few thousand years. If this theory where true should be still living in mud huts. That of course is where the term "missing link" comes from. I wont say evolution is not fact. I just think it is impossible to have applied to modern humans.

The theory is the basic idea that natural selection causes species to evolve complex adaptations and to produce new species. Details like what was the ancestor of what is a matter of making educated guesses based on the data that happens to be available. We might be wrong about a specific ancestor without being wrong about the theory of evolution as a whole.

That said, the evidence does indicate we evolved from monkeys. Both ourselves, and other modern apes, and modern monkeys, share a common ancestor that lived about 40 million years ago. That ancestor was an old-world monkey that is now extinct. A population of monkeys evolved to become the first apes about 30 million years ago. About 6 million years ago the lineage of apes that would eventually produce chimps split off from the lineage that would eventually produce us.
