Genetic variation is a pretty rare phenomenon, and many, many of them are harmful or at least not able to survive.

Polydactyly (~extra fingers and toes) for example is a not uncommon variant (about 1 in 500 births), but it provides no advantage - indeed may cause social problems.

It takes a lot of accumulated variants to make the move from Ape to Human.

But, you and your family are taller than your ancestors 500 years ago. Your eyes may be of different colour to that of your parents.

And fair skin is probably an adaption to better endure cooler climates.

And in more recent times, separate races have developed - the Chinese, the Polynesians, Africans, India, Caucasian, and so on. Each with its own distinctive set of racial features.

And there is evidence that some insects have developed resistance to modern insecticides, and this variation is passed on to their offspring.

If Darwin believed we came from apes then where did apes originate from?

Charles Darwin believed that apes evolved from earlier, more primitive species, which in turn evolved from even earlier species. Ultimately, all mammals, including the apes and humans, evolved from the first mammal species, which in turn evolved from earlier species, and so on back to the beginning of life on Earth.
