I stand corrected; however my point was that we did not evolve from modern apes. Some people think we evolved from chimps and gorillas and this obviously not the case. We share a distant common ancestor and from that point our species have diverged.
To go with your skulls, it is interesting to note that an infant chimp looks much more human than an adult chimp.

I think this is taken to be what they call an "infantilism" or a "juvenilism"--I forget exactly--in human evolution. We've evolved to retain some baby-ape look throughout our lives.
