Washme, who I don't doubt is in need of his namesake, really needs to learn how to use the quote function, as if his incoherent drivel wasn't hard to follow enough.

Apparently someone has never heard of a prosimain.

Hardly. None of this knowledge directly came from God, nor is this knowledge absolute.
Science is about the search for truth, not holding truth. There's nothing prophetic about it.
Squirrel-like beings, I'm pretty sure.
So, let's start at the beginning: the earliest ancestors of mammals were reptiles. From these, eventually came small rodents that lived alongside the dinosaurs. These couldn't change much over the years before the K-T event.
Now, even today, there are seemingly random mutations that occasionally cause abnormal physiology. (Such as fused limbs, abnormal amounts of fingers, etc.) Biological evolution also ties with behavioral evolution. That said, let's say that a group of these mammals eventually realized that staying in the trees was safer than staying on the ground when it came to avoiding predators. So, at some point, this behavior change came with a change in arm and finger length(it can't really be determined which one would have come first), which is better for traveling through the trees. These would have been the first primates. From these, modern primates would have descended.

Well, in fairness, I've never heard that term before, either.
But a quick google search seems to indicate that Lemurs qualify.

Red blood cells automatically die after 100-120 days. White blood cells after a few days.
Again, you seem to love to speak about that which you are ignorant of.

I have a question for you sir. What came first? The Monkey or the feces?

It would have evolved from the same common ancestor that humans did. I recall seeing a picture in another thread that demonstrated the lineage of this ancestor down to humans quite nicely, let me see if I can find it... (I edit if I do)
EDIT: Damn, I can't find it anywhere. I'm sure it's lying around in one of the threads in this section though, if someone wants to look for it (it's the one with the skulls lined up in neat little rows in chronological order).
This wikipedia article should explain it better than I can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution
(I'm a politician, not a scientist! I'm not good at long, drawn out research >_<)

And this is your problem, you have no idea of what the theory of evolution actually says because it certainly doesn't say that.
As you seem to need educating the the basics lets start you off from the beginning.
Populations evolve not individuals.
So its a population of mammals that are very similar to monkeys but do not quite meet the definition of being a monkey (which means they already have males and females) evolve over time (because offspring are not identical copies of their parent) until they reach the point at which they have become what does meet the definition of being a monkey.
That starting population evolved from a species that was also a mammal but was slightly less like a monkey.
