Here you got monkeys turning into other monkeys. I'm looking for a chicken incrementally turning into an elephant or something like that.
Well youre right, evolution doesn’t make such a prediction. no wonder you haven’t seen any proof. Evolution isn’t a biological philosophers stone, transmuting all living things.
In bacteria evolution is more of a web because of horizontal gene transfer (bacteria can pick up stray DNA & easily incorporate it even across species).
& species alive today would not be predicted by evolution to change into one another. Chickens & elephants have a common ancestor that likely looks like neither today.
Looking through progressively older fossils of each you would expect to find slow changes back to something with the most basic qualities of both.
Ie you would not expect the ancestor to have a trunk or chicken feet. Could expect multicellular, organs, brain, 4 limbs.
From quota “The nearest common ancestor of birds and mammals was probably an eight-inch long reptile that lived anywhere between 320 and 340 million years ago.”
Evolution predicts populations slowly changing over time & branching out as sub populations fill different niches.
None of these “monkeys” invented the internet so something changed, or evolved.
