why arent we still evolving from apes? (if it was "true") when did men stop evolving and start being born through women?

why would it stop all of a sudden, we can predate thing that happened hundreds of years ago but dont know a actual person that came from an ape,
example we all know george washington, lincoln. ceasar
why don't we know a harry or tom that came from an ape?

Science never really has found the "missing link"

Humans are still evolving, as are all other species. It usually takes millenia for these changes to occur on a noticeable level. You will never find a "human" that was born of an ape. What you will find are small changes over time as that ape species evolves, which cause that ape to slowly become a human species.
However, some things are noticeable even now. For example, humans are taller now than they were even 100 years ago.
And as far as I know, both male and female children are always born from the woman of their species. I'm not sure what you mean by that.

I don't believe that we evolved from other species like apes or fish. I believe that there was, at some time millions of years ago, a 'split' of the original species and that 'man' evolved from the 'man' part of the split and apes evolved from the 'ape' faction. Since then I feel that man has 'developed', rather than ,evolved', adapting according to his particular environmental and climatic surroundings and conditions. Today's 'man' is the product of that development and lives according to his particular environment. Can you, for example, imagine taking a city New Yorker and swapping him with a Brazilian native jungle Indian and expecting either of them to survive? The skills they have are inherent and have been moulded and developed over centuries and yet both men exist today quite happily in the surroundings they and their ancestors have adapted to. If evolution as a concept still existed why are fish not still crawling out of the sea to become amphibians or reptiles? I'm sure that 'evolution' as Darwin envisaged it was not quite correct although I do agree that changes in our bodies have actually happened albeit over eons rather than years.

Men evolved from male apes and women evolved from female apes. We didn't suddenly start being born from women, that process carried through from apes. We are still evolving...it just takes a really long time. Maybe someday we'll have wings.

who says they're not? evolutionary changes takes centuries, if not eons. men have always been born through women and until they clone people or men can give birth, they will continue to be. also, apes are also evolving, as are all the other living organisms on earth.

Who says we aren't? evolution is a mighty slow process and I question whether or not we'd notice.
