Incorrect. We did evolve from apes.

The common ancester of modern humans and modern apes was itself an animal that fit all the scientific cladisitic definition of an ape. It doesn't matter that particular type of ape is extinct. It was still an ape. So we evolved quite literally from apes.

Furthermore, a human in fact still fit all the scientific cladistic definition of an ape. So we humans are still apes.

So we evolved from apes, and we still are apes.
