We wouldnt have "unbreachable" immune systems at all, Bearing in mind long before we were here (and i believe long after we are gone), microbes
ruled the earth, cells which divide rapidly, given that, work out how fast a culture of cells can grow in 24 hours and potentially how many cells are
in the said culture, not in that process of cell division, lets say in the binary fission of a cell one mutation occurs which maybe changes the
tiniest trait of a cell, such as a cell surface receptor, this cell can now be considered a new strain, which unfortunately isnt recognised by our
immune system, hence why we get the common cold several times a year, there are just that many strains and microbes are absolutely second to none
when it comes to adaptation, see Clostridium Difficile for a reference.
Also, nowhere has it ever been said that we evolved directly from Apes, it is assumed because of our very close DNA match that we had one common
ancestor, and contrary to popular belief we actually have a higher DNA match with pigs than Apes. There are several findings which actually do
support Human evolution, its all dependant on the contributing factors which determine an organisms route in evolution, for instance, Neanderthals
Lived further north, were climate was much cooler, Neanderthals were larger than us, size and surface area to heat loss ratio, oddly, the smaller a
creature is the greater the amount of body heat that is lost. Humanoids however nearer to africa, displayed completely different traits, im missing
the point though, as all contributing factors change the need to display such traits becomes redundant, since one of our main purposes is to conserve
energy, hence why we walk on two legs rather than four, saves energy...no? and also why we store various macromolecules and nutrients for later use.
Evolution isnt meant to make sense, and you arent going to see a change over a year, or even a million years that is noticable but every time we
encounter something we will adapt or inevitably we are selected to die, sounds like a pretty crappy existence, but unfortunately im more willing to
accept "we are because we are" than some higher plan.
