Syc just pointed out to me that I was wrong here. In fact, humans <i>are</i> apes, as are all of the common ancestors between them and the living apes. Doh!
I guess what would be more accurate is that the statement, "We evolved from apes" is a little deceptive. It implies that we evolved from the apes that are alive today, which isn't true at all.
