Hello Bex,

We can fit any species into being human or ape (or other animals) if we find any fossil that happens to have resemblences and at times hard to distinguish which it may belong to, but it still doesn't prove that we come from a common ancestor.
Look at the diagram in message #41888 again.

This is the pattern of common ancestry that is seen in the fossil record again and again.

We also look at the genetic records of organisms and see the same pattern of relationships by the mutations that are common to the different branches, and different from different branches.

Why do chimpanzees and? humans share exactly the same mutation in exactly the same DNA sequence that disables our ability to form vitamin C?

Enjoy.
