if apes evolved to eventually become humans as we know them today, why did only some of us evolve and some stay as apes? why did all in between perish, leaving only the beginning and end "products" (apes and human) with no in between?

Aye I've often wondered the same man.

How is it that no other types of beings evolved with a brain capable of such complexity? You'd think species like lizards that have been here much longer than primates would have developed a brain way before us...
