We did not come from monkies. Monkeys and us have common ancestor from which we both evolved from.
Basically evolution by natural selection goes like this.
1 there are more animals/plants "born" that can possibly survive.
2 Those individuals that have special characteristics that allow them to survive are more likely to survive and pass this characteristic down to their young.
3 Most of these young will not survive and the same slow process goes on until a new species is produced.
Evolution happens quickest when their has been an extinction event when there are niches to be filled.
