If Humans evolved from apes, then why are there still Apes?!
I know, i know: No Creationist is [i]still[/i] making this argument, right? Wrong! Behold Donald Trump’s and Mitch McConnell’s candidate for the U.S. Senate from Georgia, football legend Herschel Walker. In a sit down with a pastor, Walker drops this truth bomb with an impish smile: [quote]“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? … If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it.” [/quote]
Well god damn, Herschel! If dogs came from wolves, why are there still wolves?! 2022, folks! And creationists are [i]still[/i] trotting out this tired old nag.

The short and sweet answer is we didn’t evolve from those apes. Different apes evolving at different speeds based in their chemical design and environment.
Indeed. We share a common ancestor. But even if we [i]were[/i] direct descendants of chimpanzees, there's no biological law that demands that the ancestral lineage be go extinct for the descendant lineage to survive.
