Human beings are not descended from Apes. Modern apes and humans are related and are descended from a common ancestor. This common ancestor split into two branches or more with one branch becoming through progressive states  modern day apes, and another progressing through differing states into the present day human form. Each branch experienced differing pressures from the environmental surroundings and through the process of natural selection, assumed their present forms.

Why is this natural “miracle” so hard to accept? Instead people insist on inventing a supernatural one.
