Speciation. In almost all cases, the ancestor species of an organism are still in existence during the early stages of the population growth of the new one.
That's one of the ways we end up with "cousins" in the evolutionary tree of life. Difference species diverge from the same species at some point and the original species will either continue for quite a long time or will further speciate creating more branches.
