The birth of mankind has a history of millions of years, and in this extremely long period of time, our understanding of the earth has become deeper and deeper. At the same time, we also have to face the cruel fact that in the huge ecological circle of the earth, we have been sitting firmly at the top of the food chain.
Although there are many animals in nature that show super high intelligence, it is a pity that in front of humans, it is still a bit out of sight after all.
However, when it comes to the creatures that are most similar to humans on the earth, I am afraid that in the minds of many people, the first reaction is the gorilla, and in many film and television drama works, the gorilla is often portrayed as a creature with a super high IQ.
In fact, primates that are close to humans on Earth include not only gorillas, but also many monkeys. Many scientists even assert that monkeys and gorillas are likely to become new humans, perhaps millions of years from now.

In 2018, a piece of news about Panamanian monkeys or will enter the seventeenth era caused controversy among many people. For years, scientists at the Smithsonian Institute for Tropical Research in Panama have been studying Panamanian monkeys that live on remote islands away from the crowds.
They are a small capuchin monkey with a white face, a flexible body and a dexterous tail and skin expression of the eyes, which give people a very intelligent and lively feeling at first glance.
When scientists continue to observe, they find that in recent years, the Panamanian monkey seems to have entered a whole new stage. They will insert some plant leaves on their bodies as medicine, and also use sticks to protect themselves from other animals.

It is worth mentioning that some of these Panamanian monkeys can even increase their feelings through some simple games and the same kind, and these behaviors are basically the behavior of humans millions of years ago. So when the Panamanian monkey exhibited these characteristics of ancient humans, it instantly triggered a close eye on this race.
So will these Panamanian monkeys one day evolve into humans?
From a biological point of view, the emergence of humans is not as mysterious as we think. In other words, in the long years of the earth, the emergence of human beings was only formed by chance, all kinds of yin and yang coincidences.
The evolution of living things shows a very obvious diversity, such as the original Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, which belong to one of the directions of ancient human evolution. Eventually, all sorts of coincidences tangled together, and we now have human beings.
However, although panamanian monkeys exhibit similar behavior to ancient humans, it is no exaggeration to say that the probability of wanting to evolve into humans is almost equal to 0, let alone becoming the second civilization on Earth one day in the future.

The earth's primitive ecosystem has a certain equilibrium, that is, the old saying that everything is mutually exclusive, and the emergence of human beings can be considered as a bug in the earth's ecosystem to some extent.
In fact, whether it is a gorilla or a monkey, the current biological chain still maintains a biological balance. If you want to break this equilibrium, you need not only to change the natural environment, but also to intervene from third-party forces.
Through the data, human beings have disappeared for 1 million years in the evolutionary history, and these 1 million years are the biggest difference between humans and ancient humans. As a result, Panamanian monkeys are currently exhibiting characteristics that can only be regarded as this population at best, a bold attempt. For the evolution of humans, it is simply a fantasy.
