To be fair, a Jack Russel, Akita and a wolf are fairly more similar when compared to humans and apes, as they can reproduce because they're genetically similar.  If we and apes are just as relatable in make up to those dogs, we would be able to create a man/gorillia hybrd.  Just like how Lions and Tigers, Zebras and Horse can breed, because they're all genetically similar.   

I don't doubt that we humans might have evolved from something, but there just isn't enough indisbutable info about it to concived me.  If humans did evolve, I think we must of came from a breed long extinct, and nothing that exists in this time period.  

I know, but it's an easy example to use because the divergence is quite recent. Humans don't have an equivalent in the same way wolves and domestic dogs are related (or the way lions and tigers give ligers... cool creatures). All other species in the Homo genus died out (or potentially inter-bred to help shape us now); Homo sapiens are the last survivors, which is quite extraordinary when you think about it. What's scary is that our relative lack of genetic diversity and studies into mitochondrial DNA suggest we were close to extinction at one point too.
