If Bob is monkey, then he cannot come from monkeys.

Look: there are two houses: House of Monkeys, and House of Humans.
Bob came from House of Monkeys. Hence, Bob is not inside the House of Monkeys.
Hence, he is not monkey.
Your premise is if Bob is monkey and Bob came from House of Monkeys. Bob is monkey. You've already established that, not me.

That's fair. My parents were typically home before 6pm when it aired for us.

My dad was a trucker, and had weird hours. Mom didn't give a ****.

To be fair, I still watched what I wanted... there was just an argument(that probably interfered with the show lol)

I'll try to take a shot at answering this. Other evolutionists can tell me if I get anything wrong. Okay so...

The misconception comes in, in seeing evolution as "just" a progressive thing, with parents, grandparents, etc. But evolution is also branching and we have aunts, uncles, etc. Monkeys are our cousins.
Why are there not monkeys in graveyards?

On a serious note: differentiation requires separation. It could separation by distance, like if a group becomes isolated on an island. There could be other conditions that cause one group to be isolated from another, but differentiation happens when one group stops copulating with another group or copulates at a different rate. A difference arises which isolates. Feline species are a good example. Some cats the live in the mountains and are very different from cats which live in the jungle which are very different from cats which live on the plain. Groups separate for a time, and this causes differentiation to appear between the separate groups. This differentiation becomes so great that the two groups can no longer interbreed well, and at that point they stay separate even if the original separator is gone. For example great apes and humans can live in the same area, yet we do not merge back into one species. Our genes now keep us separate, so it doesn't matter if we live in the same areas.

My contribution to Theory is this: never call a human as monkey. For various reasons, for example, he can hit you in a face.

I would never call you a monkey.

Also if I ever mistakenly call you a monkey you may pull my tail off and take away all of my bananas.
