Some have asked if humans left the planet would apes and chimpanzees take over like we have in 30,000 years or so? Probably not, why bother, they have everything they need and are content, happy, carefree, no-stress, top of their food chain, few enemies [besides them selves and their cousins mankind killing them] that they cannot deal with.

No need to leave the tree line or cover. Unless there was a super environmental change such as an ice age, global warming or volcanoes or such, but if man split from Chimpanzees 1-million years ago, Chimpanzees had their chances to adapt and move beyond, but did not desire or need too you see?

So, for those who ask this question they do so in error. Like wise a any higher order species at the top of their food chain may or may not adapt if their environment does not change.

Mankind constantly does as he keeps changing his environment and even one study recently showed brain cavity expansion of a measurable amount i

n only 650 years, which is 30 generations or so and that is indeed impressive from evolutionary standpoints. Although 650 is a long time in human terms 30 generations is not in the evolutionary process. Even insects take a while to get these things done, although we know from experimentation of course it is readily possible under controllable and observable, repeatable conditions. Perhaps you might consider this in 2006.
