that no one knows, but if you think about it logically, thats the only possible solution as to why humans and apes are so similar -- and yet why we are not evolving into apes or why apes are not evolving into humans (gradually of course)
Wrongo. When reproduction occurs, you don't clone your DNA into a baby. Your traits are either homozygous/heterozygous according to who you mated with, and genes are altered. This creates different personalities based upon those that created it, that's how you can have one child that is a lawyer and the other is a meth addict. We as humans were altered at one point in our genealogy, which resulted in our breed. Through many, MANY years of evolution we became to walk upright, as an ADAPTATION to our environment. That's also why animals adapt to receive defense mechanisms as well.
