Yes we didnt evolve from monkeys, but there is a common misconception that if a species evolves from another older species, the latter will not exist anymore. This is untrue. Dogs were artificially bred from wolves, yet wolves still exist. More recent breeds of dogs are bred from older breeds, but those older breeds still exist. An interesting finding- because dogs have been bred for so long, some types of dogs are now are unable to mate with other breeds, because they are reproductivly incompatible now. Are they becoming different species??? Who knows!
