Humans didn't evolve from monkeys, and they didn't evolve from any animals alive today.
The theory of evolution sates that humans and chimps shared a common ancestor. They diverged from this ancestor around 8mya and evolved in different directions to their present form.

Oh, you're soooo clever thinking that question up! I mean, I can't think of ONE SINGLE TIME that anybody's ever raised that "objection" to evolution before. And certainly that reasoning isn't flawed, and hasn't been beaten into the ground so many times that anybody who uses it reveals a complete lack of understanding about even the teeny-weeniest part of the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. Johnny, you're so brilliant! Oooh, what's next? Are you going to ask how eyes could have evolved? Or are you going to confuse the Big Bang theory with the Theory of Evolution? I can't wait to find out!

Ugh! Evolution did occur, if God created everything, ridiculous things like isomerase wouldn't be needed. And I'd love to hear of this "evidence" of which you speak.
Sorry, nothing more annoying than an ignorant evangelist.
But in response to your question it's pretty much what everyone else said. At one point several million years humans and chimps branched from a common ancestor (our DNA only differs by 2%) climbing all the way back up these branches to bacteria billions of years ago, which evolved from bubbles (yes, bubbles). However, even if humans did evolve directly from chimps, it is possible for them to still exist because certain climates can be more favorable to a certain species requiring it to evolve while the same species elsewhere could thrive tremendously and require no reason to evolve.

You have to remember that when we refer to monkeys that we aren't referring to the modern monkey that you are referring to, but a monkey-like ancestor. The term is used to describe the form of the creature from which we evolved.

Evolution does not say that humans evolved from monkeys. Evolution says that humans and monkeys evolved from the same species that lived on earth before them, but they evolved in two different directions.
Pay attention in your biology class.

And, who was the greatest scientist who believed the earth was flat? The one who wrote Genesis?

This coming from someone who can't compose a simple sentence that is grammatically correct?
Try to make your verbs and nouns agree, and use the shift key once in a while.

When you were born, did your grandparents die off? They are ancestral to both you and your cousins. Extrapolate that for a few generations and explain why you and your umpteenth cousins are still both around.

the tree of life has many branches, when a new branch grows , the old ones don't fall off. as for the great scientist .you must be thinking of the ones that now think we are the cause of global warming

Not everyone beileves that. This may tend to explain why you are not breathing through gills at the moment.
