A professor should have a much deeper thinking ability than you are showing.

Thanks. When I need advice on my cognitive abilities, however, I think I'll seek it elsewhere.

There are no "transitional forms" amongst human beings, just human offspring and ancestry that is traced to human beings of the past.

If human descent from apes implies there should be no more apes, then why does German-American descent from Germans not imply there should be no more Germans?

There are many transitional fossils between humans and our common ancestor with the other apes. Denying it gets you nothing but my contempt and that of other scientifically literate people.

My original point was to illustrate that there would likely have been many varieties of 'transitional forms' over the millions of years it took for monkies to become humans. So my question was why didn't any of these more recent 'transitional forms' remain static, (as the apes have), and remain extant, (as the apes have)?

If we evolved, why shouldn't the other modern apes? Why would a human evolve from an ancestral form 6 million years ago, and a chimp not evolve?

Germans can migrate and have children who become citizens of the country they were born in; but how you believe this process ties in with the so-called theory of evolution is mystifying to me.

A simple analogy escapes you, and yet you presume to adjudicate the cognitive abilites of others. Fascinating.

Anyway, clearly this is all beyond you, so why don 't we call it a day? When I expound on scientific matters, first of all usually I get paid for it; second of all, the people listening generally aren't stupid; and third and most importantly, they haven't locked themselves into a permanent mental state of ignorance. You fail in all three respects.
