That's a simple question to answer. The answer is the same as this question: Why, if Americans are largely descended from Europeans, are there still Europeans? The two groups split, and each went its own way.

At the point where our ancestors split from the apes, they stayed in the forests while our ancestors expanded (or were pushed) into the grasslands. From there the two groups diverged, with the ape line changing little (as they were already well-adapted) and the grassland group (us) changing considerably to meet the new conditions.

No. Worms, fish, turtles, birds, giraffes. We're talking apples and oranges here (which, by the way must have come from fish - or is it apes). No, you're trying to dodge the question. Europeans and Americans are very much alike. Americans and worms are very different than say, Europeans and dirt. Thanks for reply, but it doesn't hold muster.

I am not trying to dodge the question, because it is the same. My training happens to be more in the fields of fossil man and bones than worms and turtles, so that is what I used in my answer.

(My guess from the tone of your questions is that you don't agree with evolution for some reason. I don't think you really want an answer to your question.)
