Science keeps pushing back on the boundaries of the common ancestor of modern apes and humans. Both chimps and crows are known to use tools, but actually make them has always being defined as a hallmark of being human. That concept may have to change.

In pretty sure the Adam/Eve concept came many years later

World’s oldest stone tools discovered in Kenya

So what does it imply? That there were animals which were as smart as beginning humans? And I guess those animals don't exist now?

How do you know these were not descendants of Adam and Eve?

Sounds transitional doesn't it?

Not unless some undiscovered tribes of Australopithecus Afarensis are still hiding out in Africa, somewhere.

And if they were still around around, why, damn' you'd be asking: "If we descended from Australopithecus, why are there still Australopithecus?"

Whatever the evidence, the evolution -skeptics can think up reasons to dismiss it.

We have fossils of evolving primates. We don't have fossils of Adam, Eve, Cain or Abel.
