I dont see what that has to do with anything. Doesnt evolution say that different races are at different stages of evolution and that the black race is closer related to the apes?
No. Evolution doesn’t say anything. In particular, it doesn't "say" anything you claim it "says".
​
Paleontologists, archaeologists, anthropologists, etc., utilizing the empirical evidence obtained through hard work, deducted that modern humans developed in East Africa around 200 000 years ago. All modern humans. It includes everyone. European, Asian, African, Australasian, everyone.

Didnt scientists kill Aborigines in Australia to take back to England and proclaim them as the missing link?
Any links to substantiate your claim? As far as I know no not one scientist killed Aboriginees for any claim like that. Non-scientists (religious folk and non-religious folk) did kill indigenous people all over Australia, because they thought that the Aboriginal people were inferior. Maybe some of these killers were scientists, but no scientist did it for the reasons you speculated they did.

Re: More evolved?
No, Portillo, we do have the evidence that you were not telling the truth. Just because you don't have the ability to understand that you were telling porkies, does not change the fact that you were certainly not telling the truth. Other people can see exactly where you have have been twisting reality, because we can point at the exact place where you did the deed.
​
Your perception about what you think to be true does not change facts. You were not communinicating verifiable facts to people. You did the opposite.

"Evolution" doesn't "say" anything like that. Why would "evolution" make such a ridiculous statement?

No, it wouldn't. Why would you make such a ridiculous statement?

Are you sure your theory does not prove....
Theories never prove anything.
We look at all the evidence available and theories explain that evidence. For this reason nothing is "proved" in science. Proof is for maths and alcohol.

... apes decended from Mankind??????????????????
The theory is that apes and humans have a recent (in geological terms) common ancestor. This is undeniably, for rational people, evidenced in the fossils already shown in this thread. They are called transitional fossils or intermediate forms.
Nowhere does the theory entertain any of the ideas that humans decended from apes, nor that apes decended from humans.
