Richard Dawkins clears up the misunderstanding of Evolution that is all too common: If we descended from Chimpanzees, then why are there still Chimpanzees? Dawkins explains that we DID NOT descend from Chimpanzees—we both share a common ancestor.

During Richard Dawkins' 2009 American tour, we visited Judy Diamond's "Explore Evolution" exhibit at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln. This exhibit has now been replicated in six museums around the country. While visiting we filmed a collection of short unrehearsed and unscripted videos—just inspired by the "Explore Evolution" exhibit.

The proper term is adapt, not evolve. There is much confusion between the two, even in the scientific community. Evolution requires physiological and in advanced species, psychological change for the purpose of survival. Adaptation is our ability to adjust to changes in our environment.

Evolution is really a branching process where one species can give rise to two or more species.

We are evolving. An example I've recently read is that due to the modernization of agriculture, humans have become more lactose tolerant in there adulthood

hey i have a question... I mean human races have different features that in some way define us from our birth place. Asians have unique eye features an ect on other races. is this in some way an evolution step? also do all humans evolve at a similar rate? im very interested if maybe just maybe humans might branch off into to 2 different intelligent species in the future.. haha okay okay im 2 young to be asking questions i cant comprehend just yet haha

i wonder who this super duper magical ancester who was abel to give birth to both humans and champz is? Besides, it has been proved that this type of mutation and genetic drifting happens over millions of years .. So, how come this happened in a relatively very short period of time?

For similar reasons that your fiftieth cousin once removed couldn’t give birth to you.

There are certainly morphological differences among animals within one species, if not specifically skin colour. Look at the differences between tigers at the extremes of their range.
