Out of curiosity, what's the difference between evolutionary theory and Darwinian evolutionary theory, the way you see it? I'm just wondering; I'm no expert, but as far as I know the doctrine of natural selection and speciation, which are the two basic tenets of Darwinian thought, are still the basic paradigms through which evolution occurred.

Also, one point of clarification: we didn't "come from" apes. We ARE Apes. Just a pet peeve.
