No one actually thinks that's true. Apes are our distant cousins. We're descended from a common ancestor, not directly
from modern apes.

i believe a few ancient cultures, like the native americans, believe the idea of a monkey evolving into a man is not correct.

The Mayans believed that a river of pus ran through the underworld.
Aztecs believed the Sun needed blood to continue to rise.
The Egyptians believed that illness was caused by the semen of demons.
Etc.
Just because an idea is ancient doesn't mean it's correct, or can be used to criticize evolutionary theory.
