If we are a result of evolution then why?

Question

Why do we not see apes or whatever we came from why are they not slowly morphing into humans...

Answer 1

How do you know they are not? Evolution takes millions of years, you will not live long enough to know.  

Answer 2

Because you're not smashing your face hard enough with your Bible.   But as your arm strength increases, eventually you'll hit yourself hard enough with it that you can start asking intelligent questions.

Answer 3

wow i completely disagree with some answers on this question.

But the reason is because evolution is such a long process that takes place over millions of years.

Answer 4

Why would they?  Do they live in an environment that favors human characteristics evolving?  

They don't.  It simply would not be advantageous to them.

Answer 5

The answer you will get from others is because apes will not morph into humans. They will change over time into another species of higher complexity and specificity. They just will not follow the same path or end at the same destination as humans.

The truth is that we did not evolve. NeoDarwinian Evolution is a failed theory that is only supported because the multi-billionair bankers, government institutions, and multinational corporations support it. Darwinian evolution could be simplified into the term Naturalism.

Naturalism is the religion or "world view" that the believes in evolution follow.

This religion is being pushed on the world in an attempt to turn the world into a conglomerated "one world system" where man neither regards God nor believes that his rights come from God.

The first steps to forming any Marxist state is to get rid of God from the hearts and minds of men.

The Kremlin in Moscow is on Karl Marx street.

Karl Marx basically invented communism.

Karl Marx dedicated his book to Darwin. Karl Marx grew up loving the Lord but after being "educated" in institutions he changed his wordview and wanted to do away with God. He loved the idea of Darwin because they aided him in this and provided a way to convince the masses that God was dead.

Any thought of idea backed by major political institutions like banks, governments, multinational corporations, and media will become the paradigm. Through constant propaganda in all media and education, masses of people will believe in any theory presented to them.  

With control of ALL of the funding for reseach, education, and media, any theory will be bolstered to the top of its field. You will find a lack of hard evidence, a complete contridiction to all known phenomena, and gross oversimplifications become the norm.

The reason why apes are not evolving into humans is because God made the apes and the humans seperatly.  

Answer 6

Wow - that Jim guy sure is a single-minded psycho.

Answer 7

They are, you have to look carefully! Stare at that chimp beside you, it's MORPHING OMG!!1

Answer 8

Because evolution doesn't exist...

Answer 9

Because that would completely violate how evolution works!

Three things are really important to understand here:

First, an existing species can NEVER evolve (or "morph") into another existing species.  Evolution is affected by too many random events (although this is not to say that evolution is entirely random) to repeat itself.   That would be like hitting a golf ball into the top of a tree twice, and expecting it to land on exactly the same spot on the ground both times.

Second, modern apes are not some sort of "unevolved humans".  They are NOT our ancestors.  They are a separate branch of primates and are every bit as evolved as we are.   Another ape species like chimps are no more likely to evolve into humans as humans are to evolve into chimps.

Third, evolution is slow.   It took 4 to 6 *million* years for humans to evolve from the common ancestor we share with the chimps.   Why would you expect to see *ANY* notieceable difference in either species (chimps or humans) in the course of a few hundred years, or even a few thousand years?

Look, the overwhelming *consensus* (not just majority) of scientists in the world accept human evolution as an accepted part of science since the 1800's.   The only people today who still disagree, are people who keep a really simplistic and *wrong* understanding of evolution in their heads, because an absurd theory is easier to call absurd.  

If you actually want to understand *WHY* the consensus of scientists accept human evolution, then you need to understand it a lot better *BEFORE* you decide whether or not you believe it.  That would be the intellectually honest thing to do.

If you don't care about undertanding evolution, and are OK with rejecting a concept based on a simplistic understanding of it, then welcome to Creationism.  But don't for a second think you can convince people who actually *do* understand it.

Answer 10

Evolution doesn't have a direction, nor do existing individuals "morph" to become other species.

Example:  Your second cousin is better looking than you, and smarter than you, so why aren't you slowly morphing into her?

Answer 11

the reason they are not morphing into humans is because they do not live in an environment that human characteristics would be favored in.  humans are not the peak of evolution. organisms evolve to fit their environment, not to be like humans.

Answer 12

Remember the Neanderthals? They were using tools and living much like we were, and they came from a common ancestor to humans. It's believed that humans from that time period either killed them off through war, or forced them into extinction by successfully competing for scarce natural resources that the Neanderthals also needed.

Ultimately, it takes a very long time and the right ecological environment for evolution to make the drastic changes needed to create mankind. The key difference between humans and the apes is the extent to which our brains are developed. Other primates may be developing along the same lines but our lifespan is too short to make an observation that requires millions of years to bear fruit.

Too many persons believe that creatures that attain our level of intelligence must be able to walk upright. That's not necessarily true. Our brains developed as they did because we gained the use of hands when we stopped using them merely to walk with. The use of our hands necessitated bigger brains so that we could perform finer movements. All this led to the more sophisticated ways of using tools and the modern human was born.

The thing is that humans have a way of destroying the potential for other beings to evolve on this planet. We've wiped out more plants and animals that any other creature on the planet.

And for those out there who don't believe evolution exists - consider this. God must be a smart god, right? So which God do you think is smarter? The one who creates creatures that can't physically adapt to an ever changing environment or the one who creates creatures who can? If you say that evolution doesn't exist then you're also saying the God is not as smart as man, because anyone with half a brain will know that an ecosystem that adapt has a far better chance of survival and is of a far more intelligent design.
