I had that thought when I was a kid, how was I to know that?

edit: Before this turns into the Scopes Trial... I remember as a kid when people talked about evolution it was almost always said that man evolved from monkeys they never mentioned a specific species that was common to both humans, monkeys and apes etc. (interestingly enough even you said "common ancestor" and didn't mention a specific species). Why do people do this? Some of these species lived millions and millions of years ago. Maybe it's for a lack of a better word.
