Boeing airplanes have crashed a few places in the world during the past century. Before crashing, those planes may have been modified in different cities, giving them new seats and paint jobs. But the

The human primate body— bald and bipedal, with large brain, nose, and blubber — probably evolved due to a freak island accident. Imagine meeting a married couple in a nursing home. They are both

This evolutionary tree includes baboons. Both baboons and humans went from the trees to the ground. The baboon shows a normal evolution, whereas the human shows a weird evolution. I think that is like

And here is one more.

Clothes and tools were needed before the human species could survive most places in the world. Image where in Africa, or elsewhere in the world, a naked human family without tools could survive for a

Here is another:

Here is another evolutionary tree. The aquatic ape theory is very simple (parsimonious). Like the evolution from arboreal to marine to land iguana on Galapagos.

Speciation requires reproductive isolation, for which there can be many causes. Sometimes this is by physical separation, but there are many other possibilities. Gorillas and chimpanzees had an

Here is a proposed evolutionary tree, showing how humans may have evolved directly from chimpanzees that became isolated on Bioko about 4 million years ago. It is modified from the image on Wikipedia.

Chimps are our closest relatives, and gorillas next closest. They live along the Atlantic Ocean, far from the Danakil highlands, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean. They have been living near the

Hey Chimps! Sail on over to Bioko! It's less than 50 km away — a quick trip (if you're lucky) You won't be able to leave, and your descendants won't want to leave. Relax with plenty of
