What happened, Carico, was that there was this bunch of apes a long time ago and some of them wandered off and formed their own group. After a long time, they became an isolated gene pool, unable for various reasons to mate with the members of that other group. Then that group split up too, and so down through the years there were constant splittings and resplittings of these groups of apes, some of which were beginning to look a little different. Out of one of these long lines of split-up groups that could not breed with any other groups, came the splitting that resulted in man.
