Question

Humans and monkeys share a close evolutionary relationship. Monkeys have tails, which help them balance. Humans have tailbones but no tails. What are the likely explanations for this situation?

Answer 1

Even tho we share common traits humans could balance on two feet so over time the tail became useless which leads to evolution or genetic mutations to adapt to the new environment or changes

Answer 2

Monkeys and humans share a common ancestor. ... The tailbone became vestigial, and the tail disappeared because humans could balance on two legs. 3. Grabbing things with their tails became difficult for humans, so their tails disappeared.
