Why didn’t other animals evolve into people too?

Other animals are evolving ...as we speak!
It takes a great many million years to make the transition.
The fact that humanoids made it first and became the Earth dominate life form a few million years back makes that future transition into life form dominance very difficult to severely impossible!
Neanderthal was extinguished by that pressure long ago; but lives on within us. That's not possible with other life forms.

Chimps didn't evolve into people. Chimps are completely modern. The common ancestor of chimps and humans evolved into BOTH chimps and humans...

We begin on earth at the lowest level and incarnate as plants, animals and finally the highest animal which is the monkey type, so that's why we all go through that stage before being human.

Chimpanzees are an extant species. They are not an ancestor. Our common ancestor existed about six million years ago. Survival is the important thing about evolution, not making people.

All Humans are White if you go back far enough. Early Human ancestors started out with White skin according to biologists. dark skin evolved after Humans lost their body fur because naked skin was vulnerable to UV radiation as explained in the out of africa theory.

chimpanzees did not evolve into people.
Chimpanzees and humans both evolved from an more ancient animal down different paths.

Chimps did not evolve into humans. Chimps and humans share a common ancestor.
Other animals cannot evolve into humans because they don’t have the anatomy.
