my answer to that was because humans DIDNT evolve from apes that we know today. apes and humans had a common ancestor. think of humans as an abnormal ape. or an ape as an abnormal human. both are fit to survive and reproduce today, thats why both exist today. its the same reason ants birds trees etc are here. they didnt all evolve into humans or some highly intelligent being. they are here simply because they can survive and reproduce, thats it. no different from us, no different from apes.
