      (probably you are just a troll or just joking but anyway)

      Evolution is not a linear path with stages. It’s like a tree with branches, some branches go further other stay as they are.

      Similar to a family tree you might be a descendant of Napoleon, and he had some special thing like a longer fingernail (just a shitty fake example of mutation/evolution) and you also have that. But others who are also descendants didn’t get that “evolution”. They’d still exist is just that they were in another branch and they didn’t “evolve” with the longer fingernail. This an oversimplification as genes could skip a generation for example and other stuff I probably missed but it gives the general idea.
