Misconceptions of Evolution

Looking at the image below and  using what we have learned about evolution, what about the picture may give a misconception?

It is wrong because we don't have tails.

The misconception is that we evolved from rats.

We didn't evolve from rats.

elias said...

we didn't start as a rodent and become what we are today.

Travis said...

We did not evolve from them.

Stella Wyman said...

Um don't think we came from rats

Matthew C said...

We didn't evolve from rats.

Allie Nichols said...

we never evolved from rats.

Amelia M said...

Humans ancestor is not expressed by a line, it is a complex thing.

Kaitlyn said...

We did not evolve from monkeys.

rats**

Ava-Mae Hymer said...

A misconception that this may encourage is that evolution is a linear process and that we directly evolved from a monkey.

Maia said...

This depiction is false because these species, although somewhat related, did not evolve from each other. Instead, they shared common ancestors. These ancestral species then broke off into the different species shown in the image.

Evolution is not just one species turning into another, so this picture this is off.

They do not necessarily evolve from smaller organisms and all though we have a common ancestor with the rat, we didn't evolve from them.

Kaylah Swan said...

I think the misconception is the all of the mammals in the picture have the same traits so they all look alike.

Jess M said...

what Ashley said.

Paul Bellonzi said...

It makes you think that species have to evolve the way it shows

Jordan said...

It is wrong because this picture is showing how we evolved straight from these animals but actually we just have common ancestors with all these species.

Carson R. said...

The reason this is such a misconception is that evolution is not just one thing turning into another.

Allie said...

The misconception is that we shared common ancestors, we didn't just change.

Jayden said...

we have common ancestors
