Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, rather both humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor.
A division happened with this common ancestor....some went on to become chimpanzees and some went on to become modern humans.
There are common ancestors to both humans and chimps, but they are long extinct.

The Edge of Evolution: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism is about the evolution and that it can produce changes within species, but there is a limit to the ability of evolution to generate diversity, and this limit (the "edge of evolution") is somewhere between species and orders.
Evolution is a change in species over time.
divergence / divergent evolution
Man is an ape. The evolution of one is the evolution of the other. Genetics in a particular immediate environment and reproductive isolation leads to the variences in two species that share very recent common ancestors.
The difference is one of scale and scope. This is best explained using a single species and its descendants as an example:Every change that happens to the species up to the point of speciation would be classified as "micro-evolution". But after speciation, divergence would not stop: the two new species would continue to diverge from one another, possibly resulting in yet more branching events, more new species. The scope would increase to include all of those as well. At this scale, we're talking about "macro-evolution". When we zoom in on one of those newly emerged species, we can see that the resulting "macro-evolution" is still being generated by the cumulative effects of "micro-evolution" within each individual population.
Evolution doesn't work like that. Since evolution is an ongoing, continuous mechanism, every species that we see is the 'newest' species in its particular line

The key component of evolution is reproduction of the species.
Evolution has changed many species
Different traits in a organism
Evolution is always happening. Species are constantly changing to adapt to their surroundings. If evolution wasn't always happening, many different species would have died.
