Indeed I do have the answers. As far as evolution you obviously havent looked very hard at all, the fossil record is full of transitional forms of fossils on the course of evolution orginating from one species to the next over time.
as for chromosomal fusion, this is a mutation that happened during the course of evolution.
as for the origin of life , the chemicals that made up the early earths atmosphere, combined with electricty from lightning and such as a catalsy, resulted in the formation of nucleotides
which evenetually chained and formed poly nucleotides,
which evventually formed self replicating poly nucleotides but so primitive by todays standards we might not have called them alive,
eventualy DNA evlved as the supree poly nucletic chaining method,
leading to simple organisms leading to cells
, leading to sea creatures,
leading to land creatures,
leading to us.
never heard of homo erectus? homo habilis>? what do you mean only human fossils.

as far as the hows of evolution, it is called natural selection. When ever a organism reproduces, it does so with variance, as when DNA replicates it is not a perfect copy everytime
as far as homo habilis and homo erectus, I know now you didnt click that link. this is clearly shown:
Homo habilis
Homo rudolfensis
Homo ergaster
Homo erectus
Homo neanderthalensis
Homo sapiens

Oh and as for life origins I gave you a video linking you to sciences hypothesis regarding the origins of life,
Ok, answer me these questions and I'll believe that human life originated on Earth.
First, show me how life can spontaneously animate from organic material. If you can't show me how single celled organisms came to being, then it's kind of difficult for you to show me how humans evolved from them.
Second, explain to me how there is not a single example of one species evolving even partially into another distinct and separate species.
I've been reading a few articles. Many anthropologists felt that between 5 to 8 million years ago was when humans separated from the common ancestor that we allegedly have with chimpanzees. However, in around 1996, with a study done of mitochondrial DNA, it appeared as though the entire human history only went back to around 200,000 years. Similar testing of the male Y chromosome agreed with those results.
Higher order primates have 48 chromosomes. Humans have 46. How can the 2nd and 3rd chromosomes of primates fuse together to make humans?
What about the fossil record? Where does it show anything other than present day humans as being anything other than homo sapiens, dating back to around 140,000 years ago?
I'm sure that if you don't have the answers, then NavalFC does. He seems sure of himself in every post that he types.

I am still of the same species as my parents. Just as my children and their children and their children (continue the loop...) will still be of the same species as me. At what point are we going to deviate from being anything other than human in the future?
The best that science can tell me is that around 120,000 years ago, maybe up to around 200,000 years ago, my ancestors were also the same as me - human.
Oh and as for life origins I gave you a video linking you to sciences hypothesis regarding the origins of life,
I don't want a hypothesis. A hypothesis is not something that has necessarily been proven true. I wanted you to state how life began, as you implied that you had all of the answers.
You claimed that you knew how life started on Earth and how humans managed to appear on Earth. Don't start back-peddling and inform me that it's JUST a hypothesis!

Evolution is a gradual, slow process, and every animal is a descendant from a slightly different animal before it.

as far as modern humans, yes theyve been around for a oup hundred thousand years but the point is the modern human is the result of evolution, over time. It wasnt just that one day a homo erectuds gave birth to a homo sapien. This concept is not hard to understand.

Where in the fossil record is it supported that there is a slow transition from homo x to homo sapien?
How many homo sapien fossils are anything BUT homo sapien?
If evolution happens slowly and gradually, then there should be all manner of different fossils being found that represent these gradual changes. So, where are the variant homo sapien fossils?
You can't give me accurate answers about human fossils, which is not surprising. You can't give me accurate answers about how life on Earth began, which is not surprising.
That's why it's worth keeping an open mind about the starchild skull. Unless it can be conclusively proven what it is and where it came from, there will be part of it shrouded in mystery. YOU can't explain why the skull looks like it does, you can only make a guess. It may prove to be human. If so, it's still an interesting skull with unusual properties that raise more questions worthy of study.

Furthermore homosapien fossils are going to be homo sapien fossils, but the point was homo sapiens didnt exist always,
they came as a result of evolution from the previous forms, of which there are fossils!
and even now homo sapiens do have minor changes,
scienice predicts that in the year 3000 humans will be on avg over 6 ft tall, have a life expectancy of 120, and there will probabably not be nearly as many seperate races as we have now, as nter racial mariage will have merged the gene pool

Homo habilis, hom erectus, homo neaderthalis, ARE the fossil changes leading up to homo sampiens.

It doesnt work this way! A little something called Speciation prevents this! Its the same reason you could NOT have a hamster fertilize a giraffe and get a Ham-raffe.
