Ugghhh! My question on Quora-
In detail, delineate what evidence biologists have to support their theory of human evolution?
I am looking for some specific data not the whole story of evolution or proof of evolution.
So I ask please exclude any evidence related to other animals, insects, plants, etc..
Also exclude anthropology (except biology), archaeology and other soft sciences.
this is the kind of idiotic answers I get:

Hmm as noted, you posed the question in an interesting way, where interesting is a pejorative.
First we can observe evolution in a test tube, in nature and even in humans (c.f. development of high cholesterol resistance in Northern Italy in 18th century). So the question becomes if evolution does occur, and that is provable, can it be used to support a model of evolution of the various species. But this rests on an old earth: 4.5 billion years old. This comes from geology. do you admit the geologic evidence? But the geologic evidence rests on readioactive aging techniques for rock: do you accept modern atomic theory? And so forth. More correctly if you want to challenge the model of human evolution, what evidence do you have that it is incorrect? Since as noted there is copiuss evidence that it is correct. The burden of disproof at this point is actually on you.
