I don't believe species appear "magically" other, but rather by descent through modification over long, long, LONG periods of time. This is a theory backed by support from multiple lines of independently acquired evidence. Your great uncle wasn't a chimp. Your great, great, great, great, great...(add at least 50 miles of "greats") uncle was similar to the ancestors of chimps.
The only people who believe species appear "magically" are creationists.
Then there must be lots of transitional fossils to be found; even darwin himself said there should be lots and lots of them. How come we haven’t found any, just lots of phony fossils made up to fool our kids, that are later discovered to be just what they are, like piltdown man, Peking man and all the others.
