If you mean do people evolve from monkeys or other animals, the answer is NO. However, people a hundred years ago were shorter and unhealthy. Due to better diets, hospitals, and knowledge of germs and diseases, (NOT evolution) we are WAY healthier.
Answer:
Of course we can. As a simple demonstration of that fact that you can have a milk shake or cheese sandwich is due to evolution.
People evolve in response to stresses on the species. Those who can't survive don't live to pass their ability on to their descendants. This is the basis of evolution. A recent example is the ability of some humans to digest milk while others cannot do this. This was in response to a need to use an available food source (cow's milk) during some lean period in our history. Those people alive at that time couldn't make use of this food, those with the necessary mutation could. We survived the others starved. In some areas (such as Asia) the need for this alternate food did not arise and the mutation never became widespread as it offered no advantage.
The ability to digest milk in adulthood, conferred by genetic changes occurred as recently as 3,000 years ago. Interestingly enough it happened independently in both Europe and Africa due to similar pressures.
No.
Humans evolved from an early hominid/hominin - which is also the common ancestor of various apes, monkeys and other primates - which itself evolved from smaller mammals, likely resembling modern lemurs and similar animals.
Birds evolved from early reptiles (theropod dinosaus, to be precise) beginning around the time of the Jurassic.
The last common ancestor of both birds and humans was approximately 300 million years ago (possibly earlier). It was niether a mammal nor a bird, but instead a mammal-like reptile.
Although lizards have been around for a very long time (probably since the time of the dinosaurs) they most likely are evolved from a legless reptile, e.g a snake.

Did dinosaurs evolve from lizards?
No. Lizards and snakes came from different branches of reptiles. Dionosaurs evolved from archosaurs while lizards evolved from lepidosaurs.
Did snakes become lizards?
It is generally accepted that snakes evolved from lizards.
Are lizards the evolved version of a dinosaur just smaller?
No. Lizards evolved from a separate group of reptiles and, as far as reptiles go, are not closely related to dinosaurs. The modern "evolved form" of the dinosaurs is actually the birds.
Did lizards evolve from snakes or vice versa?
Snakes definitely evolved from lizards of some type, most likely burrowing varanids that evolved without legs.
What did the lizard evolve into?
It is believed that snakes evolved from lizards. Lizards are an existing group of reptiles, of course, so did not 'evolve into' anything else--they are still here. While mammals and birds evolved from reptiles, they did not evolve from lizards.
What family is the lizard from?
lizards are a group of reptiles that evolved from amphibians.
Why are snakes and lizards related?
Both snakes and lizards belong to a group of reptiles called squamates. Snakes likely evolved from a group related to monitor lizards.
Are beaded dragons decended from dinosaurs?
Bearded dragons are lizards, and, like dinosaurs, lizards are reptiles. However, no lizards, including bearded dragons, evolved from dinosaurs. Birds, on the other hand, evolved from small, feathered, insectivorous or meat eating dinosaurs that lived in trees.
Why do snakes have hip bones?
Because their ancestors had legs. Snakes most likely evolved from a group of lizards related to modern monitor lizards.
Is the giant dragonfly extinct?
No they the dragon is not exstinct there is still the comoto dragon
How do grass lizards drink water?
With their eyes, they are uniquely evolved to do so, they use their eyes and nose to extract it from the air, an ability that they evolved to do due to their excessively dry habitat
What is the correct interpretation of the cladogram shown below?
Koalas evolved after trout
