>The evidence of evolution from one form, like the chimpanzee or great ape, into another form, like the ancestral humans, is speculative. In fact, after 15,000,000 years, chimps are still chimps, and apes are still apes, and humans, are still humans. -You might be interested in a book I mentioned here awhile ago: "Not a Chimp". by Jeremy Taylor, 2009. He notes that a simple list of nucleotides makes the human and chimp look very similar in DNA, but complex studies show that humans and chimps are at least 15% (?) apart in DNA functional results. Can't remember his exact estimate.
