We didn’t. It’s ignorant jumps like that that give leverage to skepticism about evolution. We evolved from Homo Erectus. Probably Homo Habilis begat Homo Erectus begat Homo Sapiens Sapiens—us, mostly. Once you go back more than 5 million years our ancestors start to look more like chimps. That far back though you wouldn’t recognize most animals, let alone humans, as their current descendants. America was crawling with 20 foot tall sloths. Horses were barely 4 feet high. Sharks had jaws 8 feet wide. Elephants were covered in fur.
For the love of the Hello Kitty vibrator, please take a science course. And if you must make jumps, you can remember that we’re in the phylum chordata—we evolved from worms.
