When I was told about evolution my mother simply said "we used to be monkeys,"
So I thought that at one point in my life I was literally a monkey only I couldn't remember. This was dispite the fact that I had seen numerous photos of myself as a young human.
I knew logically it couldn't make sense but relied on it based on the fact it was my mother who told me.
