This is an ape.
So, how was my "deep, deep misunderstanding of the theory of evolution" so far off?
Yeah, I know your answer. They decended from a common ancestor 3.5 million years ago.
"Lucy" and that ape look just alike, at least comapred to the blonde.
So, I'm waiting on you to tell me how we got from there to here.
Lucy looked like an australopithecus, not a gorilla. I'm not sure where you've gotten your comic-book view of human evolution, but it's obvious you've come to rely upon that rather than actually going out and doing a lick of research.
Finally, we got "from there to here" (notwithstanding your complete ignorance of where "there" is) by minor modifications to existing structures over generations.
