Darwin sketched a linear evolution illustration of primates up to modern humans in 1965. It's used by people who are pro-evolution, but it kind of leaves people with a misimpression of how evolution operates. We didn't evolve from apes, gorillas and chimpanzees; we evolved from some common ancestor that was neither an ape nor a chimpanzee nor a human,. But something else. For more on this, you can see the recent gorillaology episode or the classic primatology episodes.
