Thanks, Coug. I have a layman's understanding of the "trees and ladders" idea of evolution. It is an explanation or sorts to my question about apes and humans.

One can believe if they choose to that apes and humans shared a common ancestor in prehistoric times, and that vastly different lineages somehow sprung off and evolved as branches.

To believe this, it would be necessary to accept that over millions of years one branch continued evolving to the point of humans, while another branch remained static to this day.

I don't know about you, but I find this hard to swallow just as a matter of common sense.
