At least you got rid of him..but we still didn't evolve from monkeys, nor are monkeys in our ancestry. We share an ancestor with monkeys, but -that- ancestor was prosimian (meaning: before monkeys, literally)
Think current day lemurs (except not current day lemurs, lol). That some christard ignorantly decides to call any primate that isn't an ape a monkey doesn't say much about atheists or their knowledge of evolution. Says wonders about his knowledge of classification, and his "college source", though. Monkeys are a concurrent branch of primate development, not a linear branch of human ancestry. To use the analogy from before, whereas chimps are our cousins...monkeys would be an aunt or an uncle from a different line.
The "real deal" again, from that perspective is slightly different than what you or I or an evolutionary biologist would describe as evolution. The common feature between the two is likely to be the word and the word alone.
