Human (UP)
Ape (UP)
Monkey (UP)
Primitive primate X (UP-DOWN)
Primitive mammal like rat (DOWN)
Now prove X ever existed!
Or name it if you can.
Where did monkeys get the placement they have?
That's the main question - not about humans.
NEW features may develop (though the idea sometimes gets into nonsense) but old ones change very rarely.

guess where monkey carry their kids when they are small.
Guess where the kids heads are.
And read my post again:
me said:and even earlier in evolution: imagine a woman sitting on the ground or on a tree limb (think gorilla or chimp) and a baby trying to get at nipples near her crotch. Now she suddenly jumps up and....... drops the baby! It would be VERY hard, once you have humanoid primate proportions to effectly suckle a kid if the nippled were far down, and that's true without any water involved!
see?
