Well there are a number of issues that haven't been explained:

1. Why no fur? Why would we evolve to be "naked apes" when that is clearly not an evolutionary advantage. Fur protects us from insects and other injuries as well as keeping us warm and protecting us from the sun.

2. Why do we have the ability to read and write? This is not a minor change, we lost the "photographic memory" portion of our brain, a huge advantage for hunter gatherers and instead got the ability to read when there was nothing to read, and the ability to write when there were no others who could read. In addition our brain now uses a tremendous amount of energy compared to other species. It was a very expensive evolutionary change that had little or no return on investment for thousands of years.

3. Because of the heavy demand from our brain for energy it is hypothesized that we became physically weaker. Similar sized chimpanzees are much stronger than us and yet require less energy on a daily basis. Again, hard to see how this is an evolutionary advantage.

4. The big question of course is how does a species evolve from apes which are not eusocial and become eusocial. We are not genetically wired to be eusocial like the other 18 species that are. Instead, we alone teach our children to be eusocial, creating a civilization, laws, ethics and mores in order to accomplish that. There is no other example in all of nature where this has happened.

So one has to wonder if there is another motive since anyone who questions the theory is ridiculed as being unscientific, believing in fairy tales rather than facts. Even Dr. E.O. Wilson is attacked for his research. It is as though those claiming to stand on facts and the truth are trying to prevent those who are doing research and trying to find the truth.

Evolution, abortion, and hatred of conservatives are the sacred tenets of Leftist radical fundamentalists.
