Phylogeny and Incongruent Trees

I would ask you the same question I did @thoughtful.

Sometimes humans find "incongruent trees’ in their genealogy. That is, there might be a number of different people who may or may not be among their ancestors, and it cannot determined which are and which are not.

Does this cause you to doubt that humans are related by common ancestry? If not, why does it make you doubt common ancestry between other species?
