text: if we came from apes why are there still apes?   they've got it above, we didn't come directly from apes, apes and humans came from the same source. but even if we did it wouldn't matter. if even we did come directly form apes, evolution doesn't mean that every member of a species all change at the same rate at the same time. a lot of creationists seem to have this idea about evolution. like they all go to sleep and mutate into something else all around the world one night. that's not how it works.  edit: jayceeinspect. one word... gravity. duh.
