Many of them stem from people who don't know what a plot hole actually is.

1) They 'seeded' humans - not all life.
2) It's only a movie.

How does one just seed human life?

Seems like an all or nothing deal. Maybe they just gave it a push in the right direction ?

If everything else fails, option 2) is always there ;)

Option 2 is a lame answer. We're on a fan forum to speculate such topics. Otherwise you could say that for any of the movies.

1) Drink the black bubble tea.
2) Fall off a waterfall.

And magically humans sprout from what?  Chimpanzees drinking the water?  Good thing the ostriches drank somewhere else!  :P

I believe it was that Humans would have stayed chimps if it weren't for the engineers.

Ah, we're going to run with that? Okay then, I just created your answer!

And the chimps that didn't drink there, they stayed chimps.

And all the rest of the creatures that drank there, only got irritable bowel syndrome!

I think it mutated all creatures slightly.

only in case of the chimp, Humans were the result.

But it didn't mutate all chimps?  :P

Don't tell me you're going to ask if Humans came from apes, why are apes still around?

No, Humans didn't evolve from chimps, gorillas, or even orangutans. We just shared a common ancestor. But that is the study of human evolution.

I'm asking how did the Engineers do it with Chimps, since you decided to agree with my silly statement and go there.

Milburn's mind is blown by all this.

Imagin the evolution of species like a tree branching out to the top. We all share the some basis, the Tree trunk, as life evolves new branches grow, forking in different directions, diverging, some dying of, new branches gowing out of the old ones different. For example chimp-branch and human-branch would have a common bigger branch from which they both are growing.

So the engineer disolving either kickstarted the whole tree, life itself on the planet, or he manipulated one of the branches to grow in the human direction, or it taped the human branch on an already existing "life tree". 

It think the kickstarting version makes the most sense.
