I believe that the theory is that, humans evolved from a common ancestor; not necessarily from an ape species still in existence.

" the theory of evolution that says that we evolved from apes." Not quite that simple.....evolution, in fact, shows that all animal life forms evolved from single celled animals. That shouldn't be too difficult to comprehend because in just 9 short months you developed from the fusion of two single cells. The completion of the mapping of the human genome shows how closely the human body is to all other animal life forms. We , I seem to recall, are just a few hundred or so, genes different than a mouse....ie more than 90% of the human genome is identical to the mouse. Look at an early stage embryo of a human and another animal, for example a chicken, and you won't be able to tell the difference under a microscope. Did you know some babies are still born with tail remnants? That dogs have remnants of gill slits? A dog will often develop a cyst in that area.... There a number of extinct species of man and anthropological evidence is discovered regularly.... Humanoid species have been on the planet, correct me if I'm wrong here, about 40,000 years notwithstanding some Christian claims that the Earth was created 6,000 years ago.
