you just have to look how humans looked 100 years ago compared to nowadays (especially the height) to know that humans evolution is super fast.

can't be so hard to get this in the brain.



Yet, the same can't be said about apes.  From which humans are often believed to have evolved from. ¬_¬

Two thing:

1.)  Nothing in evolutionary theory states that organisms MUST be constantly changing.

2.)  Apes have evolved quite a bit.  It is, infact, wrong to say humans evolved from apes.  Humans (according to evolution) ARE apes.  Just a highly specialized type of ape.  This thing is that many people have this notion that people arose from chimps, which is false.  Humans and chimps have a common ancestor, that was niether human nor chimp.  Chimps have been evolving alongside humans..... humans and chimps actually have a very differntly structured shoulder.  The weird thing is, a human's shoulder is JUST like a gorilla's or any other, non-chimp ape.  The unique shoulder was a trait that chimps evolved after they broke away from the line that would eventually include humans.  (once again, according to evolutionary theory)
