From evolutionary point of view we ARE better than apes. Because we are much more successful in taking evolutionary niches. Heck we are better than anything evolution created so far because we expanded so successfully ( driving to extinction hundreds of thousands of other species on the way) .And we continue to do so. Our evolutionary advantage is our brain which allows our to create effective tools and maintain sophisticated society . this advantages turned out to be a revolutionary .We are now indeed the king of all species and the most successful product of evolution on earth so far.
I would not be so fast to declare humans the fittest species for survival. Look at all the insects. I dont have the numbers but i think insects account for many times the mass of all humans on earth. We try to kill them and after a few generations they are resistant to almost anything. Who is successful in surviving?
