"The fossil record says you are wrong."I agree with the fossil record : humans did not evolve from chimps. We emerged from a common ancestor and later diverged into different evolutional paths. Ergo: one did not evolve from the other. The insistance that 'evolutionsts' wasnt us all to believe we evolved from chimps or from monkeys is based on a mistaken premise. In fact, our commen ancestor was basically a lemur, versions of which continue on this planet to the present day even though the paths of evolution for other primates diverged from it early on.

I am trying to figure out why you 2 are arguing.
You are in agreement, why are you jumping all over each other?

Whereas, the fossil record shows a more primate to human evolution than dual evolutionary branches.
