The sample data is from USA, where tiny minority of buddists and hindus live, and by all other stats have higher level of soco economical status. (a biased group of chosen individuals).Not evolved per say, we just have a common ancestor. Somewhere down the line we separated. That picture of the ape, I'm not sure what species it is exactly but, it's not a chimpanzee. Though it is probably our ancestor and not a chimpanzee's ancestor. Chimpanzees are just that, chimpanzees.
As for religious views on evolution it seems to vary. I don't think Hanuman automatically means that Hindus believe in evolution. However from what it seems, Hindus accept evolution by quite a large margin. Evolution doesn't go with traditional religious views of people following Abrahamic faiths however Jews believe in Evolution by a large percentage. For Christians it depends on the Denomonition. Muslims, not so much. Pew did a poll on this, but it's limited in America only.
Based on my interactions with people of these fates, it seems to be accurate for the most part.
What?
It will be interesting to know stats about hindus in India or buddists in asia...
