If Evolution Is Real, Why Are Monkeys Still Alive?

If Humans Evolved From Apes, Why Are There Still Apes?

     Apparently the question, "If Evolution is real, how come monkeys/apes are still alive", shows that there is a misunderstanding of how we evolved in the first place. Humans did not evolve from apes, but humans, apes and other primates evolved from one common ancestor who is believed to look more similar to apes. Lineages in evolution can branch off therefore, you have two separate beings that evolved from one being. This is what happened with apes and humans. About eight million years ago is when this lineage branch occurred. One branch leading to homonids (Humans) and the other branch leading to apes. The common ancestor humans and apes evolved from would be extinct.

     This article was definitely intended to educate people on evolution. This is a very popular question that I have heard others ask many times and I have even been asked the same question myself. I had absolutely no idea and thought that just disproves evolution, until I did research and found the answer.
