"If apes evolved into humans, then why did apes stop evolving into new humans?"
We have something called the tree of life. The tree has branches. Human apes are on one branch. Our cousins, the chimpanzee apes, are on another branch.
When the common ancestors of chimpanzee apes and human apes became separated, they evolved differently.
The scientific name for this stuff is "speciation".
"Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created. Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics."
