Hey, even if we found Germs to 'evolve' (or is it 'mutate'?) would that mean that we evolved from apes? Still a big leap, tons of assumptions in between to make that jump in logic.

Once DNA comparison techniques were invented molecular evidence backed up what "evolutionists" already knew. Humans are more closely related to apes than any other animals.
When you dig downward and hence backward in time you stop finding modern humans and instead find creatures such as homo hobilis, homo erectus, the australopithecines and so on.
There is no "missing link". Evolution is a continuum with each generation able to mate with the previous generation. When a group becomes splintered into two isolated populations they can evolve in separate directions and become different species once they can no longer produce fertile offspring. Lions and tigers can mate but produce an infertile offspring. A horse and a donkey can mate and also produce an infertile offspring (a mule).
