I thought (and still think) it was asking why apes still exist based on an assumption that apes evolved into humans. I was questioning the validity of that assumption. "I believe" that they are too genetically diverse. For those who are having trouble understanding, an analogy would be that "I believe" that a giraffe can't evolve into an elephant.
The "assumption" that ancient apes still exist is flawed.
Humans and apes are cousins. In modern terms, cousins are descended from your father's or your mother's generation: their brothers and sisters produced your cousins.
Applying this to evolution, both humans and modern apes evolved from a common ancestor that was not exactly like either. Most likely apes have changed less than humans have, but in either case there are some 4 or 5 million years of changes.
Ancient apes have evolved into modern apes. Ancient apes have evolved into humans. There is no reason to assume that either has remained exactly the same.
As I have found in some other forums there is, unfortunately, a stigma attached to those who are assigned the misleading classification of "Junior member". It can bring out an unfortunate, primitive behavior pattern in others known as territorialism.
