However there is no reason why a species can't co-exist with its ancestral species.
Evolution doesn't mean one thing turns into another. any more than the breeding hundreds of varieties of dogs mean that wolves have turned into dogs, or that wolves must necessarily become extinct.
The only reason a descendant species would entirely replace an ancestoral one is if the latter one was so much more competitive than the former in every single niche that the ancestor had occupied that the ancestor was driven into extinction.
Example:
Penguins evolved from birds that can fly. Have penguins replaced their ancestors? No. They are just well adapted to environments that their ancestors were not. But in places where flight is useful they are at a disadvantage, and far from replacing their ancestral species, they are the ones that would become extinct in those environments.
Btw, human beings came pretty close to going extinct in the past.
And now apes are in big trouble because of competition from humans for the land that they live on.

I believe in the theory of creation rather than the theory of evolution.
