Apologetic Islamic take on Evolution ... Or unkind dismissal?

How about respecting all sentient life? Islam teaches respect for other creatures as well does it not?

Those that scoff at the very notion that they evolved out of a common ancestor as apes are only expressing the arrogance of humanity.

Islam teaches us the sanctity of life … The respect for the parents is reverence whereas the injunction for the creatures is care and humane treatment. These are not the same things. We do not obey animals like we obey our parents.
