Dead? He evolved into a skeleton!

Don't know about that. Have you been to a gym lately?

I found that really funny. Just letting you know. Don't get a big head or anything.

You have a misunderstanding of how evolution works.
We didn't just change one day, over millions of years we split into different paths and adapted as we needed to, that's why chimps are still chimps (but they would have been different to how they are now when we split from them) and we are now humans.

Somewhere along the road we came a fork, we decided to leave the jungles for the coast and grass lands while our releitaves stayed amount the trees, we no longer needed to swing from branch to branch and we began to learn that walking upright on two feet is more efficient.

Read the book.

Taking this thread to its logically-absurd conclusion: If all creatures have a common ancestor, why is there anything other than humans?

And how are they able to use keyboards??

Humans and apes are cousins, we didn't descend from apes. Both apes and humans have descended from a common ancestor who lived hundreds of thousands of years ago. This ancestor would have looked more like an ape than a human but was distinct from both.

where is there?

Meathlass

Because we evolved from a small sub-set of apes who had characteristics which benefited them in some way.

It's not like the entire ape population suddenly started changing into humans.

The theory is not that we evolved from apes, but that apes and humans once had a common ancestor!
