okay, not trying to spark a religious war here, but ive always wondered...if we evolved from monkeys hundreds of thousands of years ago, then how come we still have monkeys today? i was under the impression that when a species evolves, the older form of it is lost and the new form is what rises from the ashes, so to speak. this also goes along with charles darwin's survival of the fittest theory, if you think about it long enough. can someone please provide an answer?

Just so you know, survival of the fittest would suggest this, but a better way to think of it is natural selection. Rarely do species 'replace' others by evolution. They usually find unused niches, its when species move through different environments and the better species replaces something in the same niche as it.

The apes we evolved from several hundereds of thousands of years ago, does not exist anymore. We did not evolve from say, a chimpanzee or a gorilla, but we share a common ancestor, if you understand ;) So, we didn't evolve from apes, we are apes ;)

we didn't evolve from monkeys we share a common ancestor and then took two different evolutionary paths which are what we are today. the paths were very close together but we didnt evolve from them

We didn't evolve from monkeys. We evolved from a common ancestor of apes and that branched off into our species, which is why there are still apes today.
