I know theres not meant to be 1 but when we evolved from the apes and then evolved again killing the original 'evolvees' over and over again, (Ie we evolve into caveman then neanderthal so kill caveman.) why didnt we ever kill the original apes.

Sometimes species die out. Sometimes they don't. We have fossils that prove many of those species "in between apes and man" existed. There's Lucy the Australopithecus afarensis and plenty of Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals.
If every species around killed the species before it, life could not possibly exist for many reasons. If you want an obvious one think food chain, but there are reasons a lot more complex than that as well.
