Wow condensiung much? Perhaps you should read that evidence and links. Show me the path of human evolution form a simple creature... oh wahts that you can't? I understand that, because it has not been verified to what has happeneded to the human species. So please save your educaate myself and please read up on some facts and not just accept things. I prefer acctual eveidence, not speculation and misssing peices.

Following human genetics we can trace back a large number of homologous genes to simpler organisms. Even more important is the structure of our proteins and enzymes. For example, many of our digestive enzymes are almost identical in structure to enzymes used by bacteria (also to break things down) and can be traced in virtually all living organisms. These stuctures can be very different in DNA sequence barring a few key points and using bioinformatics we can trace the evolution on a genetic (DNA sequence), structural (proteins and enzymes) and functional level. That's the evidence ignoring the fossil record.

The evidence is there (and a lot is on wiki):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_evolution

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_history_of_life

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution

Most of the stuff is referenced too.
