Either the question that you've asked is incorrect, or I really don't know how to answer it. Mammals have been evolving quite rapidly since the obliteration of dinosaurs (or since 65 million years ago). Evolution of more ape-like creatures kicked off at around this time. The oldest known Primate fossil is around 60 million years old. So, from the more ape-like looking creatures, us humans evolved.
Ahha, I finally found a flaw. We aren't descendants of apes. We ARE apes. We're usually dubbed as (of course among humans) the fifth apes. Chimps, who are our close cousins, continued to look like the apes that we've evolved from. Whereas we shed out body hair, and started walking on two feet. Those few (well, they might be few but were of extreme significance) events led us here.
