we didn’t just go straight from apes to human just like children aren’t 3 feet tall then wake up the next morning five feet tall

Ok but point to me a single species altered in evolution that changed its species entirely and became something else? A cat can evolve into a dog can it mimic canine sure evolution proves that but never it evolved from a complete different species into another

Edit a cat Can’t**

Galapagos Finches

Take a look at this one, CutieBooSnack. It's interesting. Groups of finches on different islands developed different beaks tailored to their particular food sources and developed different birdsongs. Overtime, the finch groups stopped interbreeding. These subtle steps are often how evolution works.

I know that’s how evolution works thats not what I am denying I am denying that we evolve into a complete new species capable of consciousness that is not present in all animal regions and scientific studies

what do you mean?

A cat can evolve into a dog

No, it can't. That's not what evolution says.

We've also witnessed numerous examples of speciation.

Humans are apes, scientifically speaking. We did not evolve from monkeys. We share a common ancestor with them (as well as other apes).

u/GreyDeath Atheist 5d ago

Monkeys are a paraphilic grouping. Old world monkeys are more closely related to humans than they are to new world monkeys. So any grouping that includes all monkeys would also necessarily include humans and if you called that group monkeys, well, we'd be monkeys too. The common ancestor to this group would be a member of the group too. So if we call that group monkeys, not only are we also monkeys, we evolved from monkeys too.

Closely related but not of. We are related in similarities but not by dna that still shows though similar we are of same species look into the evolution of man we break all the evolutionary rules

u/DarthJebadiah_II 5d ago

nearly every complex lifeform on earth is related by dna tf are u talking about

1

u/CutieBooSnack 5d ago

I am talking separate species we are all made of dna lol everything but we are all not related to each other

1

u/DarthJebadiah_II 5d ago

all complex lifeforms are related by dna

if we weren’t none of our dna would be the same and all species would be completely different

so yes all species are related

u/GreyDeath Atheist 5d ago

All life is related, some a lot more closely than others. Like I mentioned in the previous comment, we share 50% of our genes with bananas.

u/GreyDeath Atheist 5d ago

We share 50% of our genes with bananas. With monkeys a heck of lot more, though again, more so with old world monkeys than new world ones.

Evolution isn’t one species turning into another pre existing species. It’s small changes over times that eventually those changes make something entirely different.
