If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

I made a little diagram for you.



Basically the dumb apes died out, while others struggled to survive. Slowly they adjusted to their enviroment, and some apes moved from place to place. In order to adjust to a new enviroment they had to "evolve"(I'm assuming you understand the theory of evolution). The apes that didnt NEED to adapt to survive stayed the same, and those who needed to change changed into humans.

Monkeys and apes were not what we evolved directly from but ya we're the same family.
Evolution takes a long time for some and others, because of quick changes a single species could split into two more over a few generations.
If I payed more attention in science Id remember the name for it but the apes and monkeys went in seperate enviroments and adapted to their needs as did our ancestors.
After long enough you get a gap between species just like how there are separate races.

every1 to their own opinions but any reasonable conclusuion would be we evolved with the knowladge we know now, if aliens came would would find some amount of technology or residue alien to the landscape (synthetic), if its god why is there disease hunger ect after all he's suposta be the big guy in charge but has he ever stopped sum1 starving to death or aids claiming a victim

and chromosones rules out the "god factor" chromosones proves we evolved

as most of you should know we evolved from bacteria to the sea then to the land then to ape like creatures.. then after a few million years there became between 40 and 50 types of great apes (not monkeys) most of these died out, but 4 differnt types of humans (sapians) evolved the tall the small the powerful and the smart, to current knowledge the tall died off millions of years ago, the powerful died off thousands of years ago, the small got hunted to distinction by the smart (us) only 200 years ago, the last of them where in indonesia, they where human but primitave in comparison and they looked similar to golum from lord of the rings

you can tell how many times there has been significant changes to how smart strong ect and animal is due to the chromosones.. humans have 14 i think, meaning we had 14 big changes to the way we look act think ect

there was more than one type of monkeys, and we evolved from one type, some died out and some didnt evolve, which are the surviving species today.
