    This is going to be hard to do on my phone, but I'll try.

    1. #not all primates made it out of the trees.

    2.Evolution takes a long time, the apes we see today aren't the same apes and the process never stopped. Who knows what humans will look like in 3 million years. Do you really want apes ruling the planet? Also, survival of the fittest.

    3. Africa used to be full of trees, but the environment shifted to grasslands and the tree dwellers were forced to the ground to find food and survive. This eventually lead to a shift in the toes and ankles as well as hip placement which allowed for walking upright.

    4.Other primates and cats and otters never developed the ability to create fire, they don't have thumbs to build tools and they're not omnivores. Those factors allowed us to cook our food and breakdown proteins better, which in turn allowed our brains to grow and develop consciousness. We were able to create technology and pass on knowledge from one generation to the next. While chimpanzees are capable of some things, they cannot build elaborate tools and make fire and there's your answer why the process stopped.

    Please, please stop. Answering false questions only leaves you with false answers.

    And don't forget, our mandibles, inner ear structure, molars and teeth. Back during the Permian, the only thing that made it through to the other side was lystrosaurus. He had no teeth. Those were not standard equipment yet. Even the top predator had boney plates. Now as it happens with synapsids and lizards, depending on where they hatch( warm wet; cool dry) will determine which will be herbevors or carnivores. It was as if a massive fungal plume engulfed the world which was in a Pangea situation. Anyway, after the Permian, most animals had inscissors but no molars. They can cut the food but not really chew it. With the rise of placentals, came the inner ear and molars, the advantage being, food could be chewed, and the animal did not have to eat as much. Lystrosaurus roamed Antarctica , through Australia, going extinct in the Rift Valley. For some reason, it all ends up in the Rift Valley.

    Can't decide if @The Flashlight rates that dumb because of the snowflake comment or that he's offended that he evolved from blacks

    Either way is great tho

    I think blacks would be more offended at the notion Flashy "evolved" from them, when it's fairly clear at this point that he's actually a sentient turd granted rudimentary ability to communicate via the internet due to radiation exposure and discarded AOL modems.
