Everyone has stated that man did not come from monkey like shown in this chart: http://sehlhorst.smugmug.com/photos/54218787-M.jpg. So why not revise the chart?

That's just an artist's rendering, not a factual account. Also, dude on left doesn't appear to have a tail. Thus, not a monkey.
The argument that people are not evolved from monkeys is a bit more complicated than you may be thinking, also. People did not evolve from the monkeys you see on television or in the zoo right now. We do, however, have a common ancestor with them. That common ancestor probably looks closer to our conception of a monkey than it does to a human; after all, we had tails, once upon a time, and we also had fur not too long ago. However, that ancestor is no more a modern monkey than it is a modern human; it is just the precursor to both.

I saw no monkeys. I saw apes, but due to the limitations of the image size, I could not tell if the one on the left was a modern ape, a proto-ape from which we and the other apes descended, or an intermediate. I also couldn't clearly identify the second one on the chart. Before you bug the artist, you need to work on your terminology.

Cocaine Ambitions
Freud thought that the then little-known drug cocaine might be of great use fighting morphine addiction and melancholy. Around the same time, an associate, Carl Koller, was experimenting successfully with the drug as a local anesthetic, especially for eye surgery. Freud envied the recognition Koller received, experimented with the drug himself and urged others to do so before realizing it could be addictive.

They should cancel the evolution chart because there is no such thing as evolution. How people believe that a word of English could be so creative and inventive to design fingerprints or a liver? There is someone behind every creature who designed his face his skin color. Did you know that each creature is coded with a different code? Zebra's black and white stripes are different from a zebra to another? Tell me which part of evolution is keeping the records of these designs to make sure that it doesn't happen twice?
