Why are there no human apes alive today?

of course this is despite the fact that the fossil record strongly indicates that the major kinds of plants and animals appeared abruptly and did not evolve into other kinds, even over aeons of time

In The New Evolutionary Timetable, Steven Stanley spoke of the general failure of the record to display gradual transitions from one major group to another. He said: The known fossil record is not, and never has been, in accord with [slow evolution].Niles Eldredge also admitted: The pattern that we were told to find for the last 120 years does not exist.its this that has led to other radical theories such as life started elswhere and landed here on a meteorite. The World Book Encyclopedia says that Many biologists think new species may be produced by sudden, drastic changes in genes. this is proposed because the fossils show sudden fully formed animals rather then progressive changes.You would think that with all the millions of fossils collected, there would be at least some evidence to show that one kind of life turns into another kind. But the gaps between different types of life found in the fossil record, as well as the gaps between different types of living things on earth today, still persist.

biologist Jonathan Wells writes: At the level of kingdoms, phyla, and classes, descent with modification from common ancestors is obviously not an observed fact. To judge from the fossil and molecular evidence, it’s not even a well-supported theory.many within the field are seeing it for themselves.
