Why are there still apes?

Science is really all about categorizing things. The Creator gave him this task when He instructed Adam to name the animals.

Actually, it's not clear whether Adam was instructed to name the animals.

Scripture does say that God brought the animals before Adam to see what he would name them.

It also hints that the whole reason for this was for Adam to realize he needed a helper like himself.

So, is science's real task to bring man and woman together?

If so, some 'scientific' endeavors seem to be falling real short of this.

Therefore, if it isn't upholding the household prescribed by the Creator, then it isn't good science.

If he did,.. I'm pretty sure that they weren't English names but we've gotten way off topic again.

So, the answer to the OP question is, "because we haven't changed their name!"

*Kidding...geez...

Ahhh I see why you took your statement back:

"Nested hierarchies. Apes are monkeys in the same way that monkeys are primates, humans are apes and I am a human – it's called a nested hierarchy. This means that all apes are monkeys, but not all monkeys are apes. Just as all humans are apes, but not all apes are human.Apr 21, 2011"
Apes are monkeys – deal with it

You saw that the game changed ...

*C'mon Bander you gotta keep yo game up!

**For those who missed it, @FrumiousBandersnatch said "apes are not monkeys and vice versa", but then he saw what this did to his argument.
