  • Who wouldn't be interested in our own evolution? This is a great upload.

  • @knowershark Bookwershipus Askissus? Are you referring to people who worship the information contained in the Bible? If you're trying to mock taxonomy, you should do it in the correct format. It is "Genus," capitalized, and "species," lowercase.

  • Bought to you by Bookwershipus Askissus And their friends Systemius Fagotius.

  • @wkc21 cant fathom how far the universe expands *

  • look at us if any other species saw how we act towards eachother and the things we do theyd be shocked at how rediculous we are thinking were alone in the vast space of the universe we can fathom how far it all goes and yet we saw were alone and originate from apes and theres no proof

  • were you not watching the video? perhaps you conciously dismiss any scientific reasoning due to religious dogma and presuppositions?

  • @BornAgain102209 so you think that humans came into existence just like that? Without any process behind it? No time tables, no physical laws? Just like that? If you ask me: no way..

  • You share a common ancestor with chimpanzees and bonobos. These apes have 48 chromosomes and we have 46. Our second chromosome has the two missing chromosomes from other primates fused with it. Our scientific classification is bipedal primate or homosapien. Take a look at these videos as well:

    The best way to say you are an anmal is to look at the fur on your body, skin, eyes, and manyother things animals have.

  • because I am not evolved,

    please give me some proof that I was descended from mammals

  • How can people deny that we are mammals, animals. We obviously evolved an intelligence where we first thought a deity chose us secifically?

    We removed ourself from survival that we can now live and explore our universe. Imagine what we can do if we throw away religious beleif, and stone age thinking
