The whole idea that humans have evolved from apes is something so stupid that I still cannot digest since the first day I heard of it in primary school. But besides the bone structure, we do have some resemblance, especially the impaired brain functionality to actually believe that shit.

Do you mean as opposed to humans and contemporary apes sharing common ancestors?
I believe all species DNA are designed by our true ancestors. Imagine what is possible if technology evolves another 1000 years what we would be capable of! And it is incredibly naive to think we are the first and only life in the universe and build an evolution theory upon that..

HN is such an amazing community. Where else could you find commenters that know better than the scientists authoring the Nature article in question, and can then identify exactly why their own thinking is so much deeper than of most other people?
> Where else could you find commenters that know better than the scientists authoring the Nature article in question, They don't know better, they try to understand better. Why not?
It paints a blanket picture, with no qualifications (read a few articles at best), and belittles what the scientists in general "do".

I mean we are a very different species, we have not evolved from apes, nor have apes evolved from fish. It is an idiot theory that doesn't serve us at all. These apes are not our ancestors fortunately, we are very fortunate to be real humans. I believe all species DNA are designed by our true ancestors. Imagine what is possible if technology evolves another 1000 years what we would be capable of! And it is incredibly…
Someone should make a movie about this!

* We are way closer to a bird than to an amoeba, so our shared ancestors with birds are closer in time than our shared ancestors with amoebas.
* We are way closer to a cat than to a bird, so our shared ancestors with cats are closer in time than our shared ancestors with birds.
* We are way closer to an ape than to a cat, so our shared ancestors with apes are closer in time than our shared ancestors with cats.

We basically have common ancestors with all animals, but: * We are way closer to a bird than to an amoeba, so our shared ancestors with birds are closer in time than our shared ancestors with amoebas. * We are way closer to a cat than to a bird, so our shared ancestors with cats are closer in time than our shared ancestors with birds. * We are way closer to an ape than to a cat, so our shared ancestors with apes are…

I am a software developer, dealing with logic all day. This idea is flawed all over. Because we don't know how and why Earth and the ecosystem were created doesn't mean we have to come up with some theory because we need one. Especially not build upon a theory that originated in a time when people believed there was an end to the earth where you could fall off.
Simply say to the kids at school that this is something we still don't know. Nothing to be ashamed of.
