They didn't evolve on continents that didn't have apes, they all evolved in Africa and went wandering off, using boats, crossing stretches of land that have since become underwater etc. . . And who are all these idiots that claim humans didn't evolve from apes but shared a common ancestor? What do they think we evolved from? Bats? Sheep? Giraffes?. . Of course we evolved from apes, f*ckwits! Apes were around for millions of years before the last common ancestor of chimps and humans appeared. Don't bother arguing, I have a PhD in Zoology.
