“There is no evidence that humans descended from apes.” This claim made by creationists reveals that a large portion of them opposes evolution not on the basis of careful and extensive research, but purely out of principle. This fact results in many creationists repeating the same information, without even trying to verify its veracity.
Like it is often the case with special creation, today's argument counts on the lack of knowledge about the subject it's dealing with. The human fossil record strongly supports a gradual transition from ape to human.
[Austrilopithecus afarensis] this early ancestor of [Homo sapiens] showed signs of transition. While most of its skeleton was ape-like, making it closer to apes than to humans, it had human teeth, nontheless, and was bipedal. And yet creationists still say "there are no transitional homonids"
[Homo habilis] Although this ancestor of Homo sapiens had a number of ape-like features, like semi-erect posture and large brow ridges, it had a larger brain case, a less projecting face and the ability to use tools, hence the name. And yet creationists still say "there are no transitional homonids"
[Homo erectus] the most likely candidate for the common ancestor of both [Homo sapiens] and [Homo neanderthalensis], this archaic human had a smaller brain case than its descendents, and less developed language. It was probably the first homonin to use fire. And yet creationists still say "there are no transitional homonids"
Whether you want to admit it. You are descended from and are still taxonomically classified as:
a Hominid, Simian, Primate, Eutherian, Mammal, Amniote, Tetrapod, Gnathostome, Vertebrate, Craniate, Chordate, Deuterostome, Bilaterian, Metazoan, Holozoan, Opisthokont, Eukaryote.
