Also, by your definition, apes, monkeys and humans are all connected by microevolution, since we all have the same organs. Are you really comfortable with that position?
Yes they are similar, this does not actually mean we are connected by evolution.
I'd like to refer you to this site, recently linked by Rhain:

I know, I know, a common designer could produce similar designs. But would he/she/it intentionally create chromosomes that show obvious evidence of a mutation in the past? That is exactly what is shown on that page: at some point, a human ancestor was born with its 2nd and 3rd chromosomes fused together, and the end pieces of each still present in the middle of the new 2nd chromosome. This was after our line diverged from the other apes. The chromosome we have looks just like their 2nd and 3rd ones.
For a discussion of other genetic evidence for common ancestry of humans and apes, look at these: http://
