Humans are apes. We evolved from them and we are still them.
Edit: I think you mean to say chimps, not apes. We came from a common ancestor with chimpanzees. We were never chimps.

You’re right in that humans are apes taxonomically. What I was trying to contradict was the misconception according to which the type of apes we see today got somehow “frozen” evolutionary some time ago, but that some of their descendents evolved to become human.
These pedantic Lemmy nerd fights remind me of how I learned so much on early reddit reading similar arguments.
It's the same deal as with birds and dinosaurs. Birds didn't evolve from dinosaurs, they are dinosaurs.
Y'all are a bunch of hyper-evolved fish, so shut the fuck up and let the superior crabs take over.
In particular humans are the apes with the largest penis size to body size ratio.
