The conversation between human and AI assistant.
If we all evolved from monkeys, then how come monkeys still exist?
But wouldn't the common ancestor have turned into both humans and apes? Why did one branch off into humans and another into apes?
It's all about genetic mutations and natural selection. Over time, different populations developed unique traits that helped them survive in their respective environments. Some populations may have developed traits that eventually led to the emergence of humans, while others developed traits that led to the apes we see today.
