Also why isn't there any animals more evolved then us. I know it takes supposively billions of years to evolve but still there would be something slightly more evolved. |
Please read all of the posts in this thread, it has been awnsered in great detail.
But the short version is:
Evolution is not linear, it is bushy and jumps off in a lot of directions. As for transitional species (your half/dog stuff), there are many. If you want me to name lots of them let me know. Lots of examples both a live and dead. Snakes, amphibians, thousands of plants, bacteria, fungi. All of them.
We are the top of the food chain right now. Something has to be at the top. Physically, life length wise, biomass, absolute numbers, and reproductively-wise we are near the bottom evolutionarily.
