uh no....
the chimpanzee and the bonobo chimp for example....
not to mention INSECTS......
Chimpanzee, sometimes colloquially chimp, is the common name for the two extant species of ape in the genus Pan where the Congo River forms the boundary between the native habitat of the two species:[2]
- Common Chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes: the better known chimpanzee lives primarily in West and Central Africa.
- Bonobo, Pan paniscus: also known as the "Pygmy Chimpanzee or Bonzi Chimpanzee", this species is found in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Erm....well.....someone missed the point....
Think about the question - why can there only be one of any species? Think about why it is a tautology.

Chimps and bonobos are different species... same genus.
Now if you want to talk about sub-species like the Eastern sub-species of Chimp (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) then we may have something.

It is a theory though.
Modern humans pushing neanderthals to extinction still makes to no sense to me since we still have primates that were around as long as humans and neanerthals. Even though I truly believe in evolution, much of these evolutionary theories are still but theories. There is still no physical evidence of humans evolving from apes. Yet I could see why it would be highly probably given the DNA we share with certain primates.
Anyway, I've often wondered this too.

Humans are apes.

I missed that context too, likely on account of it making no sense.
Lets be rigorous here. The claim being forwarded by evolutionary theory is that humans share a common ancestor with the other extant apes. Taxonomically we are apes, but people who know squat about biology tend to miss/ignore that fact. What you really mean when you refer to a link is the transitional forms between modern humans and that ape-like ancestor we share in common with the other apes.
Here are those links:
Also learn what a scientific theory actually is.

humans and neanderthals ate the same food, used the same resources and lived in the same places. Humans and the great apes until recently did none of these things... now all of the great apes are facing extinction within the next couple decades.
soon we wont be wondering why there aren't other human species... but why there are no other apes at all.
we don't like to share.
