OK, well, the ape very slowly began to evolve into a different species way back millions of years ago. It was evolving along slowly, and eventually there was the neanderthal man. And then suddenly, for no reason, a completely different human showed up- the first homo sapien. The two species were different enough to be incompatable sexually. Thats what the scientists call The Missing Link. Obviously, something must have happened in there. So maybe the ape-men may have ended up smarter and more advances, but they might not look just like we do now, and it ought to have taken millions more years.
The question is, what was it that jumpstarted the homo sapiens? Any ideas?
