These are terms that don't convince. The people who are serious in this conversation know there is no conclusive 'truth' or proven theory apart from mathematics. And even that is up for debate in some circles. What we are discussing is probability of theories being true.

'Pure evolution' - beyond reasonable doubt this is true.

'Natural selection' - again true beyond reasonable doubt.

Emergence of new species due to cumulative evolution - not proven or substantially supported beyond the two 'truths' above and not being in possession of any other 'reasonable theories'.



What I am looking for is proof in the fossil record that supports the spontaneous emergence of the human species through cumulative evolution from other species. To my knowledge there still isn't any ?
