If humans evolved from apes...?

I have no idea, but science has shown that there are actual fossils of different types of human/ape things. Possibly, due to natural selection we were able to survive something that they couldn't? I have no idea. And I think we are not all necessarily evolving differently, but adapting to our environments. For example, white people lost the black skin because they moved higher and farther from the sun. We have no use for some organs in our bodies now, I think it is more of an adaptation.
