Why would only some evolve?

Everything evolves. Chimps and humans evolved along different paths. Chimps look, morphologically, similar to the last common ancestor, but make no mistake: chimps have definitely evolved since then. (The fact that there are two species of chimp alive today makes that clear.)

What do you think the chimp-like ape thought when it gave birth to a human? How did the human survive with a chimp mother?

It never happened that way. It was a gradual change over time. Look again at how the skulls gradually change over several million years. (Yes, I know you reject them as fraudulent. But if someone did accept them, what would he have to conclude?)

Think of it this way. Thousands of years ago, people spoke Latin. Today, their descendants speak Italian. Do you think that there ever came a time when a Latin-speaking mother was unable to communicate with her Italian-speaking children?

Why is it that no matter how often and how clearly a creationist who makes the mistaken argument that mlc9852 has made has this explained, they still insist upon their bogus "one species gives birth to a completely different species" argument? It's as though they don't care about the actual explanation and ignore it at all costs so that they can continue asking a question about an absurd event that no one claims happened so that they can "prove" that evolution is somehow fallacious for failing to be able to explain their strawman.

Of course, I keep in mind that mlc9852 has admitted to being a liar in the past.

No, because she would still have understood their hand gestures.</un-pc stereotype>
