A answered a dumb question about evolution and this time I was very nice. It was a misconception I have seen many times before. Science education sucks in Idiot America.

"If man evolved from the ape world then why have apes stopped changing into human beings? If apes once had that intelligence to evolve into humans then why did they lose that intelligence?"

About 6 million years ago some ancient apes became separated from each other. One group evolved to become today's chimpanzees. The other group evolved to become human apes. We live in different environments and that's why chimps are still chimps. We evolved differently because of our different environments.

One more thing. This is called speciation.

Google search: Speciation, the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution. Speciation involves the splitting of a single evolutionary lineage into two or more genetically independent lineages.
