An anthropologist has claimed that humans didn't evolve from apes - instead apes evolved from humans.
This conclusion was reached by Kent State University Professor C. Owen Lovejoy based on studies of Ardipithecus ramidus, a hominid species who lived 4.4 million years ago. "People often think we evolved from apes, but no, apes in many ways evolved from us," he says.Until Ardi was discovered, the earliest specimen of human evolutions was Australopithecus, a bipedal "ape man" that lived 1-4 million years ago, the newspaper said, noting the most famous member of the genus was the 3. 2 million-year-old skeleton nicknamed "Lucy" that was found in 1974.
