I come from a common ancestor as the ape, my bloodline is traced back by women. So to answer your question, both.

I evolved from an ape-like creature, as did the woman from whom I can also trace my bloodlines.
Do you read?

I don't have to believe I evolved from an ape-like ancestor, because of the evidence I've seen. But it didn't happen yesterday (or 33 years ago), and I'm pretty sure my mother (and her mother, etc. ad infinutum) did, too.
The nice thing about evolution is that you don't have to believe in it for it to be true. Believe in it or don't, it doesn't matter to me. Since it's not a matter of belief.

The problem with tracing bloodlines is that only 20 generations ago you had millions of ancestors that contributed to the genes you have today. That being said, evolution has as much proof as gravity and it is utterly stupid to not beleive in it.

I believe we did evolve from a species of ape that is not around anymore because they all evolved into cro-magnon or whatever the first caveman was and so forth....and why didn't all apes evolve into humans you ask? Maybe they didn't need to....maybe the species that did evolve needed to do so in order to adapt to their environment and the other apes did not need to do so.

The evolutionist will start with the complex and work backward in hope that it will all add up. The actual idea that an eye could be gradually developed over millions of years is ridiculous. The focus system, the lens, the iris, the rods and cones, the optic nerve, the brain to make it all make sense. And what told the evolutionary process that there was color or depth of field? What told evolution there were things to taste or smell or even hear? What frequency? What spectrum? All at the same time as the ear, the nose, the sexual reproduction system? It's ludicrous. And what of the soul? Of love? Of affection? Are these necessary for survival of the fittest? What about the search for our Creator? There is nothing evolutionary about that in the least. Why do we seek to save Eagle eggs or whales? Survival of the fittest. We are tampering with evolution by trying to save them.
DNA and the human body are far too complex to be thrown together by long periods of chance mutation, and natural selection. DNA is a very complex organic computer program that could never evolve out of such occurrences. So either you believe in the ET seed theory that such an organism was planted here by alien beings, or in a Designer who dwells in the eternal.
Now, suppose a secular scientist were sent to investigate a meteor that impacted the earth. Upon scraping the crust away, the scientist is amazed to find a perfect, sphere of polished metal. Back at the lab, he sees that he can unscrew the hemispheres apart. Inside he finds a very elaborate system of gyros, propulsion and visual cameras. If damaged, the internal systems can repair itself. Would the scientist marvel at how long it took to have such a mechanism accidentally evolve in space? Or would he choose to believe it was created by an advanced designer somewhere outside of terrestrial domain? Because he is a secular scientist, he has no problem with thinking the latter. Yet if we say we believe in a Creator, we are branded as unscientific or mindless zealots. Humanism and atheism has taken over the power structure of the science community so that any use of the Bible as a source of possibility will be squelched and demeaned with extreme prejudice.

No, I believe we evolved from another species and have a common ancestry with other primates, including apes.

I believe I share a common ancestor with other primates.
I can say my bloodlines have always come from a female primate since that time, yes.

I have the DNA of a female human being, and while I am sure I bear little resemblance to my oldest female ancester, she had the DNA of a female human being. She was likely much shorter and of darker skin than me. I am not directly related to the missing link. You?

I have traced my blood line back 28 generations, each and every one of them had a woman involved. That is simple genealogy, evolution is different.
