    Evolution: Do you see the resemblence

    Not from chimpanzees, from a chimpanzee-like creature, which was the ancestor of us and chimpanzees. Going further back leads to something that looked rather like a modern-day shrew.

    Evolution: Do you see the resemblence

    You really don't listen, do you? Once more, you cannot greatly increase the mutation rate of a population and expect it to be any sort of realistic model of evolution in the wild, let alone a "speeded-up" version. It simply doesn't work that way. Species tread a fine line between "too little"...

It has neither - simply, if a mutation works, it works, and if it doesn't, it doesn't. In other words, there's no...
