Here, meet our relatives:
Australopithecus ramidus - 5 to 4 million years ago
Australopithecus afarensis - 4 to 2.7 million years ago
Australopithecus africanus - 3.0 to 2.0 million years ago
Australopithecus robustus - 2.2 to 1.0 million years ago
Homo habilis - 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago
Homo erectus - 2 to 0.4 million years ago
Homo sapiens - 400,000 to 200,000 years ago
Homo sapiens neandertalensis - 200,000 to 30,000 years ago
Homo sapiens sapiens - 130,000 years ago to present
Before them, between 5 and 10 million years ago, there was our common ancestor with the apes. This is what is romantically called "The missing link".
Note the time it takes to slowly evolve from one level to another.
Bear in mind that A.ramidus didn't just wake up one morning as A afarensis. The change was gradual, following climatic changes and so-on. Man has not changed appreciably in 400,000 years.

Read 'evolution of the species' by Charles Darwin. Read it. If you're a halfway intelligent person who can read at a normal pace, it will take you about a week to finish it even if you only read it for 90 minutes per day. When you're done, you will understand how all this worked and you will no longer find it difficult to believe. Instead you will find it difficult to believe that we came about in any OTHER way other than thru evolution.

Some people evolved from Apes and some were created. The guy up there is partially Ape.

Im not gonna bother looking for specific evidence but when faced with the similiarities versus the differences (genetically and structurally), I am convinced we are. If you don't do you have another viable explanation that has supporting evidence?
