There are plenty of species around now, and plenty of them are related to us. Even the plant kingdom is related to us. Any intermediate steps would have been localized in small populations except for the ones that were successful, and most of the intermediate steps would have disappeared. Life has a way of disposing of its ancestors, leaving nothing.

So you believe then we're all related and somehow evolved from some molecules that happened to bump into each other .... this begs the question ... where did the original molecules come from and at what point did "whatever being" decide it's more fun to mate than split???
