Well, there were Homo erectus and other homo species living in Africa, while they were smart, we, the homo sapiens, were smarter. Of course in evolution, certain species do break off into other species so that's likely what happened. Survival of the fittest didn't happen because we could both survive perfectly fine. In fact, humans moved around a lot before they found farming so survival of the fittest didn't need to happen.

This is so wrong I can't even... Survival of the fittest didn't need to happen? Monkeys wouldn't have even evolved without it. There would be nothing but extremely weak, simple single-celled organisms on the planet. Additionally, it's not that we were "smarter." Evolutionary paths diverged, so at one point our brains were exactly the same. It only happened that one branch of apes was আরো adaptable, not necessarily smarter.
It's not that we were smarter, it was collective learning and symbolic language that made homo sapiens evolve into humans. Without the ability to communicate using words and language, we would all still be primates.
Because the monkeys and apes that are around today aren't the same as the monkeys and apes that were around when the evolutionary path of homo sapiens diverged from theirs. Today's apes and humans had a common ancestor; we did not evolve from today's apes. Think of Darwin's branching tree, not a progression from monkey to man.

yeah that's what i was thinking, yo long time no see ^ ^
There are many breeds and species of monkeys and apes Clearly we evolved from one of those species, which would mean its no longer around thus giving us the missing link
Alligators were around during Jurassic times and are still alive today While being their predecessor it clearly has not evolved into a t-rex
We DIDN'T, simple as that. I know I might be "attacked" for this but I'm not trying to বিতর্ক anything, just stating a fact. Humans are not জন্তু জানোয়ার and never were. Humans are humans and জন্তু জানোয়ার are animals--two different life forms that co-exist with one another.
A different gene got mixed in, slowly forming humans over time. However, although some apes managed to form into something different, that doesn't mean they ALL have to evolve into humans for it to make sense. It's just like different species of মাছ in the sea... some stay the same, while others develop special genes and become different from the original species. It's hard to explain... just গুগুল it অথবা ask a science teacher..

It's not developing special genes, it's just mutations
We didn't evolve from monkeys, we share a common ancestor that branched apart for various reasons somewhere along the line. Even if we did evolve from monkeys, there would still be some around, kind of like how সারমেয় are basically evolved from wild সারমেয় and নেকড়ে (well, domesticated from anyway) and we still have them.
This is a common misunderstanding of the theory of evolution. We did not evolve from monkeys, we share a common ancestor with them!~ Meaning that there was once another species of primate that we evolved from that the monkeys of today also evolved from. We still have moneys and apes because we did not evolve directly from them but from another primate. That primate is not around today.
