By this kind of linkage, completely unrelated species are linked by skeletal development although they may be a completely unrelated species. And by this kind of comparison one may conclude that a monkey or an ape, being less developed than humankind but more developed than say a chimpanzee, is evidence of a developmental evolution, wherein no such relationship may actually exist.
As the theory of evolution would have it, progressive evolution takes a long time consisting of millions of years. Thus looking at human development in terms of this frame of reference, the difference between people of today and the 'primitives' of say five thousand years ago, could seem like the difference between humans and apes. It thus would seem that it should have taken perhaps something like hundreds of thousands of years for the human species to progress from the human state of five thousand years ago to the point of technological advances it has of today.
If one does not accept that all the various families of organisms evolved in a progressive way from primitive life forms, the question remains as to how they did come into being. There are various other theories such as the creationist theory of God's creation. There is also the idea that the planet is seeded by the dust from comets or contained in asteroids which hit the planet. There is the theory of plantation by alien life forms through inter-galactic space travel. Or there may be mechanisms we are unaware of. If the planet as a whole is considered a single living organism, it may contain mechanisms which produce what is needed which contributes to the organism as a whole, like a living body makes cells and generates and produces antibodies as necessary.
