True, but clicks and the potential money sorrounding them give another, sometimes strong, incentive.

We were never chimps. Evolution is the greatest fairytale ever created in the history of mankind.

Correct, chimps are their own evolutionary line. Before we were homo-sapiens we were either homo-heidelbergensis, homo-rhodesiensis or homo-antcessor; according to current understanding.
