Answer 1

1. list some misconceptions of human evolution are represented in popular culture.

There is a misconception that if we are evolved from a monkey than why there is still monkey around - main fact is apes are a closer relative of human than monkeys. The theory of evolution says that humans and apes share the most recent common ancestors. it doesn't mean humans evolved from monkeys.

Individuals can evolve in a single lifespan - no it takes millions of years to evolve

Evolution claims that humans evolved from monkeys - actually we are not evolved from monkeys. evolution theory says when we go back to the time humans diversified from chimpanzees six to seven-year ago. it means we share a common ancestor. so we are not evolved from monkeys or chimps.

Humans are not currently evolving - it's not true as humans are still evolving. we know evolution is a slow process it takes millions of years to see visible changes. ex early humans are lactose intolerant but now we can consume milk without any serious side effect. this show we evolved.

Evolution is just theory - we call it the theory of evolution but it well accepted and we have much evidence in the form of fossils which tell us its not just theory.
