We didn’t evolve from the apes that exist today. From 12 million years ago to 3 million years ago, the many species of ape that lived from Africa to Asia often interbred. Gorrillas, chimps, orangs, and Homo Sapiens are the only species that survived. Each is a hybrid and descendent of the much more numerous diversity of species that existed in the Pleistocene and earlier.
Neanderthals are extinct, but so are all the other subspecies of Hominin that began appearing 3 million years ago. Our genome 1/25 Neanderthal, but The other 24/25 is comprised of many different extinct populations. At least 8 of them are not anatomically Modern Homo Sapien, and of the ones that are some of them were as different from modern people as Neanderthals. Consider the Red Deer Cave People, who may be anatomically modern but have the strangest skulls we know of.
It might be said the we are mutts who survived the Ice Age, as much Descendents of Paleo-Siberian, East African, and Microcephalin D ghost populations as we are Neanderthal.
Mito Eve and Y Adam probably contributed to our nuclear genome a bit more than the others, but even that is not a given.
If humans evolved from apes, Neanderthals, and such how come the apes still exist and Neanderthals don’t?
