There is much evidence for a transition of hominid forms from an ape-like state to a human-like state in the form of Australopithecus, Ardipithecus, Orrorin, Sahelanthropus, Paranthropus fossils and of course the fossils of early Homo species such as Homo erectus, Homo habilis, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo floresiensis, Homo ergaster, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo antecessor.....
There is also evidence from a fused chromosome: chromosome 2. Chimpanzees and Gorillas have 24 pairs of chromosomes and Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. The hypothesis was made that one of the chromosomes should have become fused in the line that lead from the chimpanzee-human common ancestor to humans themselves. And indeed, a fused chromosome was found, supporting that hypothesis.
Comparative genetics confirms the relationship between humans and their ape relations. By comparative genetics, Darwin's prediction is confirmed (Darwin used comparative morphology) that Humans are most closely related to African apes (chimpanzees and gorillas) and more distantly related to Orangutans. The ape tree of life has been confirmed.
Paleoanthropologists are scientists who study the biological and behavioral aspects of human and primate evolution. They examine fossil evidence, artifacts, and other remains to understand the evolution of humans and our ancestors.
Subdisciplines used to understand human evolution include paleoanthropology, genetics, archaeology, paleontology, and primatology. Each of these fields provides unique insights into the origins and development of humans through the study of fossil evidence, genetic analysis, ancient artifacts, and the behavior of closely-related species.
Olduvai Gorge is known as the cradle of humankind because it has provided some of the oldest evidence of human evolution, including hominid fossils and stone tools. The gorge's archaeological sites have helped scientists understand the early stages of human evolution and behavior.
Prior to the discoveries by Louis and Mary Leakey, human evolution was thought to have originated in Asia. The Leakey's finding at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania convinced that humans originally evolved in Africa.
Paleoanthropology is the term that refers to the study of human fossil remains and how they relate to human evolution. This field combines aspects of anthropology and paleontology to understand the biological and behavioral evolution of the human species.
paleoanthropologist. They analyze fossils, artifacts, and other evidence to understand the origins and evolution of hominids and human ancestors.
Fossils If they look alike
The only theory. The theory that explains the facts of human evolution and is internally consistent, plus supported by massive amounts of evidence.

No. Human evolution is a proven fact even if peoples' religious beliefs are contradictory to the facts. These are questions are not scientific questions but ones that are best debated and answered by philosophy.
Early man scholars rejected fossils as a means to trace human evolution because they held religious or cultural beliefs that contradicted the idea of human evolution. Additionally, fossils were not well understood or widely accepted as evidence of human ancestry at the time.
There is no evidence supporting it, and all the more evidence supporting the less controversial models of human evolution, based on evolutionary theory.

There is no scientific evidence for such things.
Evolution
In evolution the study of vertebrate forelimbs is related to the anatomical evidence from homology.
