Apes didn't "evolve to humans". Apes are a group of animals containing over 20 species; one of those species is called Homo sapiens - us.
And yes, it is 100% certain that we are an ape species. Physiologically and genetically we are very similar.
The fossil record shows that apes appeared millions of years before the human species appeared. The fossil record of our own ancestors shows them becoming less like a forest dwelling ape and more like a modern human over time, so the evidence points to the exact opposite of humans evolving into forest-dwelling apes.

In a sense it has.
Through examinations of fossils, skulls, bones, and skeletons of apes, we have found changing skeletal structures which as time progress began to resemble humans more and more.
apes, monkeys, and other such primates came earlier and eventually adapted to bipedalism.
the basic evidence against your thought of humans becoming apes has been explained above: older skeletal structures we found resemble humans less and less while newer ones resemble humans more and more/
the reason it is "in a sense" is because not every one of the steps has been found. however, the anthropology community is getting there

Humans are apes.
Humans, Chimpanzees, gorillas and other primates have a common ancestor.
It's not the survival of the fittest, but the survival of the best adapted to their environment.
Overwhelming evidence that humans and other primates have a common ancestor, are found in fossil records and genome project.

Evolution theory states that apes and humans were descended from common ancestors, not that humans were apes at any point in time.
