Our ancestors might at some point have been rodent-like, in the sense that they looked somewhat like rodents (or rather, some rodents still look like them, as the rodents also evolved from the same ancestor). But they weren't rodents, and they didn't have the incisors that characterize rodents.
>also, humans did not evolve from primates. humans are primates
Yes, we evolved from primates, and thus still are primates, like how birds still are dinosaurs.
- autokad 5y agobirds are NOT dinosours. they are descended from them. as far as I know, there were no birds during their time.
- abc_lisper 5y agoHmm.. That’s not true. There were birds then. And a lot of dinosaurs that look like birds. https://twitter.com/serpenillus/status/1226553777983016960?s=21 https://twitter.com/serpenillus/status/1226553777983016960?s...
