Uh, actually, no there's not. A human generation is 20-22 years. There is no paleoarcheological fossil evidence dating back 20-22 million years.

The figures were 10k and a million. Not 20-22 million.

Right...and the answer was ...NOT a million generations...since that's 20-22 million years by the assumption of a generation time.

You conveniently left out the word "generations," which was clearly stated in my original post (copied below):

So exactly how many generations do I have to go back before I have a monkey in my family tree? Ten thousand? A million? There is no evidence of human beings existing that far back.

1 million generations is 20-22 million years.

At what point will human beings evolve into an entirely new, more advanced species? Your genetics are determined at conception as a result of the combinating of your parents' DNA, and at no point in your life will your DNA be altered by the surrounding environment (notwithstanding radiation and cancer, which have a reverse, or devolutionary effect).

Children's DNA is a combination of parents' DNA. Carried forward a million generations, any offspring's DNA will STILL be a product of the parents' genetic mixing.

If evolution is responsible for the creation of new species, what is forcing the mutation of genes to produce new species, and why haven't we seen any evidence of it yet?
