Here let me make it more my own

Genuine experts in paleontology, anthropology, paleoanthropology from institutions such as Harvard University are aware of the gaping holes to the scientific foundation for the claim of human evolution. In fact experts like paleoanthropologist David Pilbeam of Harvard have made several statements to this.

"Paleoanthropologists have long thought that when East Africa's Rift Valley formed during the late Miocene, some five to seven million years ago, it functioned as a geographical barrier separating ape populations. Those in open grasslands, it was believed, were under more pressure to abandon their arboreal way of life in order to survive, thus initiating hominid development. "We now know that this is far too simplistic a scenario," says Harvard University paleoanthropologist David Pilbeam. "Although climate change is a more likely factor, we simply have too little data to explain such a singular event in human history."

"We now know that this is far too simplistic a scenario," says Harvard University paleoanthropologist David Pilbeam. "Although climate change is a more likely factor, we simply have too little data to explain such a singular event in human history."

So, what? Science in progress, the investigation is ongoing.
