In paleontology there is little more than morphology (the form and structure of plants and animals) to go on. Just what "everything else" did you have in mind?

Such as?

It is REALLY STUPID to call yourself an ape even you acknowledge the idea of common ancestor. A twins look like each other. That does not mean they are the same person.
You're comparing the naming of things, as broad categories, with equating them as copies of one another.

Those twins would probably have the same last name. Taxonomically speaking, that's all we're doing by placing certain species in the same genus, or the same family.

If you say there is no difference, I will buy some bananas for you.

I'd love to know what juvenissun's first language is. It certainly isn't English or French.

There is none. Everything else is made (and made up) to support the morphological argument.

If two skeletons are the same, to paleontologist, they are the same thing. But, It is absolutely false. I am unique. I am not anyone else. This is what paleontologist does not know.

Paleontology is a study of classification. That is only step ONE in any science. Do not take it to make conclusion.

Why do you "love to know"? It has nothing to do with science or religion.

No. They will mutate in different way.

No, but they do have the same family name. Likewise, though we're not the same species as chimps, we're both descended from proto-ape species, so we both have the 'ape' moniker.
This illustrates that you are brainwashed by paleontology. Morphologically, paleontologist put human skeleton after that of ape. That absolutely does not say that human evolved from ape. This conclusion does not even follow the simplest logic.

Ignoring your improper use of a category to which I technically belong, you're pointing to the difference between myself and a gorilla or a chimpanzee.

There are a number of differences between myself and a gorilla, but the ones that would fall within the purview of paleontology are largely morphological.

The further differences would probably fall within the purview of other aspects of biology.
