If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why are there still monkeys and apes?

Question

If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why are there still monkeys and apes?

Answer 1

It doesnt work in the way that 'there was a monkey, then he became a man'.  Monkeys and humans have common ancestry, rather than transformed from one thing to another

Answer 2

the theory came from charles darwin. it is hard to be proved because it is about the evolution. evolution means a slow process which can take more than decades...so...if u want to know your answer, u better try to live hundred years again...

anyway me myself believe that human came from human, not from the apes...God creates us perfectly, different from the others...why must we compare ourselves to the hairy animal who love to eat bananas...

Answer 3

human beings did not evolve from monkeys and apes. We were made out of dust.

Answer 4

Isn't this like asking, if you came from your mother, why is your grandmother still here?

Answer 5

Man and other modern apes evolved from creatures who don't exist anymore. On a more general note, one creature could evolve from another but, that doesn't mean the first one would go extinct.

Answer 6

Just like people, some evolved and some didn't. (At least mentally.)

Credit women for human evolution. They didn't want to bear the children of some dumb ape! - Is that natural selection?

How's THAT for the theme of a thesis?
