Just thought I'd put my humble 2 pence worth in, if we evolved from apes why are there still apes ?

Also if we are constantly evolving, surely buy studying the past evolutionary sates we could put an accurate depiction of what we we will look like in 50,000 years from now...or do we have to get an artist in to do an artist's impression,like we do when we need to know what dinosaurs etc etc look like :)
