I know there are probably some very good evolutionary explanations for human beings, but to a complete layman like me, the difference between human and ape intelligence are way too much to attribute to an accident of natural selection.

Plus, I think an extraterrestrial source for human life just makes me think of all sorts of geeky fantasies.

What about hybridization? There's a hypothesis that once a primate mate with a pig and the resulting hybrid become humanity ancestor. It can explain a leap in evolution and explain things like lack of hair.
