If evolution exists, why have lizards and alligators not evolved

Because they are and have been doing pretty damn well as is.

That is wrong and you know it. Humans developed complex thought in a couple million years and lizards are still stupid fucks living in trees and deserts.

>>9035455
Because they're well adapted to their ecological niche.

AFAIK the jury is still out on how, when, and why humans developed their intelligence.

>>9035465
And yet they are doing very well up there in their trees.

Leading scholars tend to believe human intellect evolved as a result of sexual selection. It is the only plausible explanation so far, and our genetic heritage is supporting it. The average human has 13 female ancestors for every male.

Damn. Grand grand grand granpa was a pimp

And his superior brain compared to his peers let him monopolize females.

I don't understand what this means, does it mean there was a high level of incest? As in, ridiculously high?

They have, just not very much in physical appearance. Genetically modern animals do not resemble their ancestors.

>>9035455
because their behavior as stayed the same
or any novel mutations, or behaviors were not fit enough to be selected

I'm not sure if this is related, but we are one of the least genetically diverse species on Earth. It's thought that this was caused by a substantial loss in population (estimated to 10,000 breeding pairs).
