The ENTIRE global scientific community (over 99% of scientists worldwide) accepts the verifiable reality that is the evolution of species.
Biologists observe and document evolution happening in the lab, as well as in nature. We can trace our lineage and the lineages of other organisms through time with DNA, and we can corroborate this data with fossils that point to the exact same conclusion: organisms evolve and change over time.
The earliest Homo sapiens remains discovered to date were found in Africa, in present day Morocco. They were dated via thermoluminescence (TL) to around 300,000 years ago. Far older remains of human ancestors like Homo heidelburgensis and Homo erectus have also been found in Africa, the latter emerging around 2 million years ago.
You cannot grow out of your own ancestry. You are a member of every taxonomic clade your ancestors belonged to, even if you or the descendants of your species create new clades for themselves. You evolved from eukaryotes, so you are still a eukaryote. You evolved from tetrapods, so you are still a tetrapod. You evolved from mammals, so you are still a mammal. You evolved from apes, so you are still an ape.
Life is far more enjoyable when you understand biology and scientific methodology in general.
