If we evolved from apes then why are there still apes around today?
Yes, that helps. But why did some apes evolve into humans and others didn't?
That's a complex question, but it has to do with genetic mutations and natural selection. Over time, the genetic mutations that were advantageous for survival and reproduction were passed down to offspring, ultimately resulting in the evolution of one species into another. So, the apes that evolved into humans had certain genetic mutations that were beneficial for survival and reproduction, while those that didn't evolve didn't have those mutations or they weren't as advantageous.
