Did you ever take even a nanosecond and consider that the most probable event in our evolution is that we evolved from a single species of primate, not monkeys as a whole? Did you ever stop to consider that the driving force behind that evolution was likely to have been a very poor adaptation of a species to it's environment, or a change in that environment placing great pressure upon that speciesthus driving the evolutionary change and the extinction of to original species simultaneously? That just might be one very good way to explain different primate species surviving and continuing to evolve and the evolution of a proto human species in parallel.
