So again, how did apes breed human beings (or primates who haven't been found yet)?
One little change at a time.
And why isn't anything resembling a primate today prdoucing offspring that have turned into humans since the beginning of recorded history?
The evolution of a new species is a sequence of random events. to ask why something that happened isn't happening again is like asking why there is no lightning today striking the same spot where one did yesterday (depite the fact that there is no storm around today). The question makes no sense. Think about it. Is the fact that nobody is building huge stone pyramids anywhere in the world today a valid reson to believe that the egyptian pyramids couldn't have been built by humans? off course not. Is the fact that no human beings are evolving before your eyes today a valid reason to believe that extant human beings couldn't have evolved from different kind of primates? OFF COURSE NOT!!!
