How many times do you have to tell a creationist we were not descended from monkeys

They keep insisting scientists and evolution asserts we descended from monkeys when nobody claims this. We descended from ape like ancestors and monkeys are our cousins. Any creationist who reads this, not already knowing, will forget by tomorrow and continue to make themselves look stupid by saying we did not come from monkeys. Why do they have such short memories?

They don't care about facts. They have their religious believes, and they will simply ignore the facts. It is a waste of time arguing with religious people or even dogmatic people because their believes cannot be changed.

Even though we did not descend directly from a monkey, apes did indeed evolve from an Old World monkey. The lesser apes, such as the gibbon and siamang, for example, still display some of the traits found in Old World monkeys. In fact, human infants still retain instincts found in arboreal monkeys. Human infants will grab onto any object, and will hold especially tightly to hair. Some infants will also pull their own hair. Sadly, many doctors do not know that this is instinctive behavior and instead believe this is abnormal behavior, when nothing can be further from the truth. Baby primates (including human babies) have the instinct to hold tightly onto hair, because it is key to survival. A tree climbing monkey simply cannot spare any hand or arm to hold onto a baby as she climbs trees or move through the branches. The infant has to hang on tightly to her body fur, or else it could fall off and die. Even though humans have not lived in trees for at least 5 million years, and probably longer, we still retain the instinct, as infants, to hold onto hair. Some babies have simply discovered that there is hair on their own heads, so they instinctively grab on to it. Human infants will also hang tightly onto ropes since ropes are similar to hair.
