Two questions. Which skulls are apes and which ones are men, and how do their shape, location and age give us evidence of evolution?

How do we know that the changes of the skull shape is to accommodate the growth of a human brain and not just the shape of a human scull? Point out to me where the jaw muscles are reduced. How accurate is the millions of years estimation. What is it based upon?

In time, our brains grew and we started using tools instead of our teeth to rip up flesh and so the teeth that was used for flesh tearing started decreasing in size, eventually it should dis-appear altogether. Tails no longer needed as we started walking on 2 feet.
Apes, chimps, etc. use tools. How do teeth know how they are used and how they should evolve?

Isn't that speculation? How does this sort of future speculation fit within evolution and how can it not be any more speculation than anything else you estimate as far as evolution?

I don't see anything remarkable about the various sizes of skulls of what appear to be non human primate skulls? Where am I wrong, other than the obvious fact that I don't see what isn't there?

Anyway, please view this and look at the teeth and the head shape and size.
You show Human, Chimpanzee, Orangutan and Macaque skulls with various sizes and that is supposed to demonstrate evolution? If you really, really believe - it will be true? Maybe that is my problem.
