And what factors caused us "humans" to have different physical features?

Gauwd, is the answer you seek my Darwinian friend.

My ancestors did not evolve from apes. Evolution means the species mutate. They both don't live next door to each other. That is not evolution. We still have human beings and we still have apes. The evolution theory means when one species morphs into another. It doesn't mean that a new breed of whatever is going to coexist with the old one. It means the old species takes on changes.

Well, first of all, humans didn't branch off from apes. Humans and apes branched off from a common ancestor.
Evolution occurs for a number of reasons such as climate change, or geological change. There's also a theory that gamma rays from space are altering our DNA. All these things have one thing in common: change. When something influential on this planet changes, beings on this planet are designed to change with it for the purpose of survival.

Different planet of origin. Different design in dna, from point of our evolutions beginning, path and end.
Totally different from the apes. Possibly of other origins than apes. But essentally the same materials which make up all matter and energy we know.

Environmental pressures. Our ancestors spent alot of time hanging out in the pools that form in the clearings of the jungles. This helped us to walk on two feet and made us relatively hairless. Time passed and the jungle receded, leaving our ancestors to adapt to a savanna (grassland) environment while the apes followed the jungle. Walking on two feet helped us to spot danger coming our way on the grassland. And we began to eat meat to help out since there was less edible vegetation on the grassland. We began to use our memory to remember signs of animal tracks and learned how to hunt.

Cause the apes would never kick in for the beer at the party store.

*sigh* another retarded theist that doesn't understand evolution, I would guess.
Until you realize that man did not evolve "from the apes," and that man and ape shared a common primate ancestor, there's no use even discussing something that is clearly far over your head.

nothing> there is no concrete proof of macroevolution> species evolve but to a certain extent such as in Microevolution. I'd suggest researching both types. Micro is shown to happen while macro is mostly made up.

Most likely the different areas our ancestors and theirs lived in. It's possible that different living conditions caused different evolutionary changes resulting in our differences today.

Maybe because we didn't come from Apes...we came from the true and living God who made us with His hands.
If we came from apes, then I don't think there would still be apes running around today.
