Response to thread about "why aren't primates continuing to evolve?"

Skimming science news I thought this answered the question why haven't other primates evolved like humans?

Big Brain Gene Found in Humans Not Chimps

" A single gene may have paved the way for the rise of human intelligence by dramatically increasing the number of brain cells found in a key brain region.

This gene seems to be uniquely human: It is found in modern-day humans, Neanderthals and another branch of extinct humans called Denisovans, but not in chimpanzees."

Because that would not fit in the ignoramouses creation stories.

Maybe one will evolve into a 25 foot tall ape? It's possible.

LOL. A little problem with surface area to volume and weight.

Not Bigfoot, but a very real if extinct kind of ape.
