I'm not re-opening a three month old 15 page thread just for you. Either read it or read John Hawk's original post.Tiberius said:So what exactly was your point with the OP?
That because languages other than English don't differentiate between apes and monkeys the way English does, then the word "ape" means nothing?
Oh my!When they quit interbreeding they were still the same species. At the point in time that they could no longer interbreed, they became different species, but they were still the same genus.
Well, there are biochemistry, genetics, embryology, and the fossil record. But if you haven't actually looked at and understood these things, I can see why you might say that.
And if you don't understand that there is a difference between an ancestor and a descendent, I can well believe that you might be confused. Perhaps you could have your mommy or your daughter explain it to you, even if you can't tell them apart.
to your first point, your opinion doesn't matter because those two words mean two different things whether talking about evolution or not.
they quit interbreeding when they became unable to produce fertile offspring because it has no survival advantage for the species.

only problem apes and humans are different genus levels, so how did and when did the genus barrier get crossed, you completly missed the point.
I think you've missed the point of evolution... Several times. A number of individuals have already addressed your crocoduck assumptions about how evolution works, on a number of occasions. And yet you continue to cling to your misconceptions. Why?
what are you saying that humans didn't come from apes? Did I miss something?
