1.  There's no archaeological evidence (or any other) that human beings
evolved from monkeys.  What there is evidence for is that chimpanzees and
human beings share a lot of similar DNA -- but that does not necessarily
mean we evolved from monkeys -- only that we're genetically related to 
them.
If human beings evolved from moneys,  then monkeys wouldn't exist any
longer, yet they do -- an why haven't those monkeys also evolved into 
other
things?  There's several problems there.

There indeed is several problems there. First, humans did not evolve from 
currently existing monkeys, but humans and monkeys both evolved from a 
common ancestor. You didn't descend from your cousin, but you and your 
cousin descended from a common ancestor. (If I'm wrong and you did descend 
from your cousin, I don't want to know about it.)

Second, there is no reason for one species to vanish simply because another 
species arrived, unless they were driven to extinction. Your cousins didn't 
vanish upon your arrival to this world. (If I'm wrong and all your cousins 
did disappear, I don't want to hear about it. Talk to the police.)

Third, those prehistoric "monkeys" did "evolve", that's why there are many 
different species of primates in the world.

All life in the Universe is related to each other.

I'm not sure which is more dismaying about that statement:
That there is currently no evidence to support or deny it,
or the fact that it completely contradicts her own creationist statements!
