I completely believe in evolution, don't get me wrong, but...if the idea of an ape becoming a human over the ages is true, why aren't there stages of ape-humans in existence today? Know what I mean? There are apes and there are humans but I don't know of any mammals that look like a mix of the two. I would think that there would be a whole slew of "in the middles."
I'm just baffled that, with this theory being true, the two species are at opposite ends of the ape to human spectrum. I understand that one had to become the other but having nothing in between confuses me. I'm sure there is an answer to this, I just can't figure it out.
I'm going to venture to say that those chimps and apes that can communicate by sign and stuff. They know so many words and can communicate through so many ways...those are the in betweenees....if you will.
ReplyDeleteNo, but really...
I'm also going to say that one reason there aren't any visable middle men is because they wouldn't survive. The actual change happened and humans evolved and then through "natural selection" or "survival of the fittest," any beings who were "in between" didn't survive. One has to be either monkey or human because being a little of both wouldn't give you the needs to survive. That's my guess.
