I'm pretty sure the kiwi is not a direct descendant of the velociraptor, but I can still feel its pain.

Like a bonobo or a chimpanzee. We all share a common ancestor. That's all, and that's something to be proud of.

After all, 'we made it'. (As in, we are still here. No small feat.)

So we are a walking mass of bacteria that evolved into fish and then ape like beings that will eventually destroy the planet. This could be a movie.

Look at some of the great apes, and some of the hairy men at the beach, and how can you not see the resemblance. And watch some humans who are not thinking at the time, the way they scratch at themselves and pick their nose, then go to the zoo and watch a chimpanzee. Eerie.

Anyways, you did not evolve from an ape. If you had, there would be no apes, they would all now be humans. Relax.
