I think you are misunderstanding evolution.
We are apes. We evolved from an extinct ape, from which chimpanzees, orangutans etc also evolved separately.
The common ape ancestor of chimps and humans evolved from another ape from which gorillas also evolved.
It's like a tree from which branches keep sprouting.
If you genuinely wish to understand (as opposed to asking a rhetorical creationist question) then this website is excellent:

I'm a monkey, and when I get pregnant my baby develops a mutation which makes it a little less monkey and more human. If the same thing happens again and again over many generations you end up with something that is more human than monkey, right? BUT my sister has a normal monkey baby and all of their babies are normal too........so they stay monkeys. Just because some members of an animal type evolve doesn't mean the original type disappears. Does that help?

I think that there used to be a man-like or monkey-like species which was neither human or monkey. Throughout millions of years, this species had evolved into both human and monkeys. Consequently, we are not evolved of monkeys or chimpanzees. We are just evolved from the same species.

We have evolved from monkey but that does not mean all monkeys have turned into man overnight or all monkeys had a secret meeting and they decided to turn into man as they were fed up of climbing trees.
Some monkeys had babies which undergo mutation and this mutation enabled them to dance on a floor instead of climbing tree .They become more smart and thus decided to marry someone equally smart Their babies were more smarter than the previous one and thus one fine day man evolved gradually But the babies who missed this mutation magic remained monkey forever and thus were destined to entertain us

We didn't actually evovle from them, we evolved from a common anscestor. That looked like what some say chimpanzees, others say bonobos, and it goes on and on... The common ancestor of all the humans and apes, is still widely speculated what would be. Probaly the best fossil example is the skeloton "Lucy" (australopithecus africanus) and the living one is the bonobo.

Ok, it's called niche theory. All organisms have a niche in the environment, a set of environmental conditions in which they thrive. Organisms are all competing for resources in their niches, and we see them surviving in the niche where they win that competition. Monkeys, chimps, ect...are still in existence because they occupy a different niche than we do. Of course, that won't matter for long because humans insist on out competing everything, to our own detriment. Oh well.

humans can never be reversed back to monkeys , chimpanzees and orungutans , since finally monkeys turn to human being are peramanently genetically coded as human , and multiply as human , monkeys get stuck in their monkeys genetic coat so continue to multiply with monkeys,chimpanzees and orungutans

may be some monkeys et al evolved gradually n became humans while others continue to perpetuate....had evolution meant wiping off of the less evolved one...the whole earth wud hv just homo sapiens....coz every org has evolved from some other one...this challenges da whole evolution theory

Our evolution depart from them by millions of year ago. They are a lot of similarity among humns and these monkeys.
