To be fair, Mindia, what he's saying is right. Out in the public it's usually said that way, but that's not at all how the scientific community describes it.
Basically, we're all primates. Millions of years ago, we did share a common ancestor. Gorillas, chimpanzees and suchlike didn't exist back then any more than we did.
Anyway, I know you don't believe that, so I'm not going to go into all the explanation of it. But it's true, nothing at all in evolutionary theory tries to claim humans in any way descended from modern apes.
