Evolutionists, if we evolved from monkeys and apes, how come monkeys and apes still exist?

Question

They would all be gone by now right?

Answer 1

No, for a start you are basing your question on an incorrect assumption. The theory of evolution states that humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor, not that humans are a direct descendant of apes.

Secondly, even if that was the case it still doesn't mean that the other species has to no longer exist. It's not as if one day all of one species will suddenly turn into the other, the species will branch off. One may evolve in one way due to its environment whereas another will change differently or not at all, just because a mutation can happen it doesn't mean it will throughout the entire population.

"They would all be gone by now right?"

No this is wrong - you don't understand population biology or the process of evolution.
