    Are you stupid? The theory of evolution states that we SHARE a common ancestor, not that we evolved directly from modern apes. Learn your facts.

  • @TopHatGiux The early ancestors of gorillas and humans separated to different groups (isolation). For some groups, big size protected them for predators. Intelligence was requirement for some groups, since food wasnt easily accessible.

    It is not always like "clever ones are most successful species" sometimes other features are better for current enviroment. Thats why all primates didnt evolve to humans, and also thats why there is so big variety of species in this planet.

  • @XxKillinBRUHxX I'm not stating whether or not we are similar, that alone is obvious, I am stating both Chimpanzees and humans used to be the same species at one point.

  • @mch158 Not really, its more like if your cousins childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens so on and so forth eventually became a species different from your direct decedents.
