Adaptations only occur, under the theory of evolution, when there is something in nature for the animal to adapt to. So, in other words, apes in one part of the world live there, and fill in a new niche in the environment and apes who don't fill in the new niche or live in another geographic area don't adapt.

I suggest reading up on the process of Natural Selection, it will shine light upon many of the questions I assume you have.
Bob the Awesome Reviewed by Bob the Awesome on . question about evolution i have always been taught a "creation" perspective on the origin of the universe and understand that theory quite well. I am very curious to learn about the evolutionary viewpoint. i certainly do not disagree with the principle of natural selection, but the aspect that assumes we are descendents apes brings some confusion. now for my question... 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 Rating: 5
