If we evolved from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?

Like I said in a different post, the formation of a new species does not replace the older one. Just as a child does not replace the parent.
If you are of the religious thinking I can put it this way, if God made us of dirt why is there still dirt?
The tree of life in evolution works exactly like a family tree. Also we didn't evolve from monkeys. We evolved from a common ancestor. That is like a great great great grandpa to us both but that person is dead. And it is just us and our distant cousins.
