That's fine. But the evidence suggests very strongly that humans did, in fact, evolve from a common ancestor. That much is certain. We may even call it a fact. What could the mechanism be? Well, the only current theory is that it occurred through natural selection acting on randomly occurring variations. This is because we have actually observed natural selection act in some cases, and so it is a known mechanism. Furthermore, we do not know of anything that would prevent natural selection to produce humans from an apelike creature. And all other mechanisms that have been proposed have been shown to be false.
That answer still danced around with theory to glue it together.

I make bold the word suggests which is used to suggests but still
not a fact.

Here theory was use I think a recap of the meaning of theory is in odyer.
In common usage, people often use the word theory to signify a conjecture, an opinion, or a speculation. In this usage, a theory is not necessarily based on facts; in other words, it is not required to be consistent with true descriptions of reality.

But also never see it in real life eather, nore the opposite?
The author of this was treading on ice, glued with theory and uncertain(suggests) areas.
