Your argument makes some sense, but how can you prove that humans came from apes?

I do not disagree with natural selection, but with evolution, everything had to go perfectly.

I can't prove the humans came from apes beyond looking at phenotype between early humans and modern apes. However, I CAN prove that humans, like most multicellular organisms, came from a common ancestor. Endosymbiosis is the process of one unicellular organism forming a relationship with another by first consuming, then using the resources the consumed organism produces. This is an event that we witnessed this year, and has been used to explain why human cells have one set of DNA, but mitochondria have another. This dual-DNA is evident in all animals (mitochondria), plants (chlorophyl…  Read more

I just got one question. If we came from apes, they why aren't apes still evolving right now? Why would we still have apes around here? It don't make any sense man. I'm a Christian and I believe in the Bible, how the beginning was God. And there's no flaw in the Bible but science has many. And if you ask who created God, I'm gonna say God has no creator, unlike humans, God created himself, it's beyond our logic how he did this, and we don't need to know until we get to Heaven. God is not human, so he could do anything like that.

EXACTLY!!! If we came from apes, then why are there still apes? Some of them were just like "nah I don't wanna be a human" I don't think so.

 @B9ZNS94 from Maryland  disagreed…5mos5MO

Fossil evidence and common ancestors.

Due to the fact of apes such as lucy and even current chimpanzees having over 96 percent of the same genome as us give or take

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
