Why are there still men, if those were allegedly our ancestors?

This looks like it could be a fantastic way to educate just about anybody on one of the most important figures in human thought….from children to adults, as illustrated by the first comment above….
The very fact that the misconception that we are “descended from monkeys” lives on to this day is one of the reasons that a graphic novel like this is necessary, since Origin of the Species is TLDR (too long, didn’t read) for just about everybody…

To commenter #1: Apes that you see today are NOT our ancestors. THEIR ape ancestors are the same as OUR ape ancestors. Both of our species descended from the SAME ancestor. Since us and extant (currently alive) apes share certain (and many) features, we know that our ancestors must have shared these features. Since the ancestral features were consistent with what we describe as an ape, our ancestors must have been apes. It’s really quite simple.

Wahey – just came on here to say I thought the book looked great, and I find one of the worst Creationist arguments ever as the first comment!

1) Modern apes and human beings are both decended from a common ancestor. Modern apes are NOT our ancestor.
2) It does not follow that because one species has evolved to become two that the original species need become extinct.

Anyway, the book looks great.
