Can you explain why you think that there has been a change ?

Chimpanzees are apes and have been agreed to be our closest living relatives for as long as I know of.

Natural selection - as formulated by Darwin - was mainly about how changes spread within a species.
​
Now seeing that chimpanzees ARE apes, what is the basis for your claim that evolutionary theory has changed in this respect ?
