What's the deal with Evolution, I thought that was how we became humans but now it's only a theory?

used in science, theory explanation based on facts , describes how facts relate each other, 1 has been tested , confirmed general principle explains natural phenomena , capable of predicting additional phenomena derive facts.

theory of evolution, explains process--i.e., result of filtering effect of natural selection on mutations in individual organisms on great many generations-- fact of evolution occurs.

furthermore, scientific theories remain theories no matter how evidence found in support of them. explanations remain explanations. not become else.

there massive amount of evidence both evolution , theory of evolution, bald-faced lies of promoters of creationism , ignorant, gullible lay creationists mindlessly accept lies notwithstanding.

of latter can found among responders.

@supermegabookworm999 presents lot of misleading information in posting.

neanderthals not ancestral modern humans has been known long time, @supermegabookworm999's posting tries make found out.

modern humans , neanderthals had common ancestor in africa split 2 branches. 1 branch migrated europe evolved neanderthals beginning 500,000 years ago. no neanderthal remains have ever been found in africa, in europe , western asia.

other branch remained in africa , evolved modern humans 180,000 years ago. part of branch left africa several tens of thousands of years ago , migrated europe, there limited interbreeding last of neanderthals, , asia. during process evolved different non-african races in response differing environmental conditions.

dna analysis has revealed modern non-african humans have small percentage of neanderthal dna result of interbreeding. modern africans not have neanderthal dna in genetic makeup because neanderthals never in africa.

also, first link admits not scientist, , characterization of evolution of neanderthals misleading , partially wrong. second link out of date, because subsequent studies confirmed limited interbreeding between modern-type humans , neanderthals.

point absolutely nothing of said supports creationism in way, rather supports evolution.

and, contrary said, numerous "missing links" in line of evolution of humans common ancestor apes have been found @supermegabookworm999's ignorance of them notwithstanding.

i thought evolution proven , final. found out theory , might not have happened? other explanations there?
