Why are there no species that have developed to bridge the gap between humans and apes?
In: Biology
I am just a layman so please correct me if I am wrong here but ultimately a lot of what you are asking in this are largely open questions being currently researched now by scientists in the appropriate fields. Something clearly unique happened to our lineage that set them apart so drastically from our closest relatives. But what event or events exactly where they? Thats not well understood.
So ELI5? Its a great question: we aren’t entirely sure.
