I have some personal experience with buddhists from south east asia, particularly Malaysia, Nepal and Burma,  They seem typically vehemently, or as vehemently as buddhist continences allow, anti evolution. 

They confidently rebut evolution with the same things heard on US senatorial campaign circuit: “If monkeys became men, why are there still monkeys”.
Well I think that's a valid criticism. Can anyone explain why there are still monkeys? Humans did not come from monkeys, not directly at least.

If I’m descended from my grandparents, why do I still have cousins?
