OH WAIT. Then why are there still apes? Because there's still ape habitat that people don't want.
And incidentally, humans didn't evolve from apes: humans, apes, chimps, gibbons and gorillas all evolved from some common ancestor who, like the mammoth and eohippus, is no longer with us.

Elephants and mammoths both lived on the Earth at the same time; the latter until ~10,000 years ago with the end of the last ice age.
