Chimps evolved. That, we were one and the same species, and we were, and
this included a forest population, but that the forest population was moderated
by interbreeding with those outside the forest. Then after the split Homo competed against and likely preyed upon the Pan side, at least the ones not hiding in the forest, until forest adaptation were no longer mitigated by breeding
with populations in the open.
Humans literally created Chimps.
