Why there are still monkeys around if they were part of our evolutionary beginnings ?

Though others says that evolution of people exist from a monkey we can really tell if the fossils found in several studies that they are a monkeys. But maybe they are only monkey like but not as like much as a monkey. Having a similarities to their lifestyle and kind of living is one of the reasons why there's a lot who believe that we came from our ancestors, the monkeys

Its really important to clarify the difference between monkeys and apes. Humans have not evolved from monkeys and your video should clarify that. Its important to make sure you don't call chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans monkeys as they are all apes (as well as humans). Monkeys are not part of our family but are only part of our order (primates).

Humans evolved from a common ape ancestor. All of our ancestors are extinct so the question "If humans evolved from x, then why are x still around" is double invalid.

Also, the word "proof" is not very scientific. Evolution is a theory and scientific theories are built around the best evidence. Theories are falsifiable but no available evidence has ever falsified them. All evidence supports the theory of evolution as fact so it has withstood the test of time.
