If humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Can you explain to me why there are still apes if humans supposedly evolved from apes?
Of course! The theory of evolution proposes that humans didn't evolve from modern-day apes; rather, both modern humans and modern apes evolved from a common ancestor that lived millions of years ago. So, just like aunts and uncles can exist even though you and your siblings have the same set of grandparents, modern-day apes and modern humans can exist even though we share a common ancestor.
