Comment on Monkeys, humans, evolution…

Why are there still monkeys is a rather dumb question. A better question might be: “If apes and humans came from an ape-like ancestor, what did it look like, if not an ape?” If Neanderthals and CroMagnon are now considered completely human, Australopithicus is now considered an ape, and Lucy was just a chimp, and we have no evidence for the ape-like ancestor, does that mean that all we really have is apes, monkeys, and humans? Plus a good imagination of course. I guess there is a reason they are called “missing.”
