Ok, you are posting this to "prove" that science texts taught that man evolved from apes we have today, instead of saying they share a common ancestor.
The picture you show does not prove that. No modern ape is shown in that pic.
The 3 on the left are Dryopithecus (extinct), Oreopithecus (extinct) and Ramapithecus (extinct - actually now considered a female Sivapithecus - also extinct).
The 3 on the right are Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon, and modern man.
So no, the text books did NOT say that man came from apes. They said we evolved from a common ancestor.
