If humans came from chimps, why are there still chimps?

    If humans came from chimps, why are there still chimps? This is a question that has been asked forever. It probably started occurring around when the theory evolution started taking off. This is a question mostly asked by those who disown the idea of evolution (these people cannot be helped smh) but also by those who simply do not understand. So the goal of this post is to help those who do not understand. 
    So it is not that humans came from chimps but instead that we share a common ancestor with chimps. Evolution is not a linear line but instead a tree with many branches. The roots of the tree grew each branch of the tree but each branch took on its own traits and "personality" as it adapted and evolved. So chimps are more like our cousins versus being a direct ancestor of humans. Chimps and humans have a common ancestor and then both went separate about 6 million years ago on their own evolutionary "branch". This is why although we have a lot in common with chimps we are also very different from them. 

    So why are we so different than chimps if we have a common ancestor? Why are we more "evolved"? This was likely due to what drives all evolution. After the humans and chimps branches split they were most likely dealing with different environments and such. Therefore chimps most likely were fine in their environment and no longer needed to evolve. On the other hand the more recent ancestors of humans were probably in an environment where they needed to adapt and evolve. They were also constantly moving which probably continually lead to the need for adaptation. Which most likely lead to our most current evolved state that we view as superior to chimps. When in reality it's not that we are "superior" but rather that we simply had different situations than chimps and needed to evolve differently than them.
