If the theory of evolution is that man evolved from a lower order of animals, namely monkeys, why are there still monkeys around?

Mostly because no one has claimed that “man descended from monkeys” in the last 150 years... however GGG is giving baboons a hell of a run for the money.

I trust you are kidding. Right?

Just in case you're not, a) that's not what the theory of evolution states and b) your statement is also featured prominently on AIG's "Arguments creationists shouldn't use. I could expand upon my answer, but I'm fairly certain you were joking around.

If the idea is that Americans came from Europe, why are there still Europeans?

If the idea is that American English derived from British English, why are people still speaking British English?

Monkeys fill an ecological niche, where there is a “demand” for monkeys, nature has provided a “supply”. The “demand” for monkeys up in the trees did not go away just because some monkeys came down from the trees and started living on the ground.
