#3Who is to say the other non-sapient apes won't be able to talk in the next few hundred thousand to a million years if they don't go extinct?

#4Hindus believes apes did talk at some point, or atleast one species existed that did talk. They were called Vanara. They no longer exist but this literature might point to some species that are now extinct, no fossilised evidence though would be hard to guage from fossils.

It's also equally hard to trust give it's based on Hindu scripture, and the Wikipedia article itself states that they're considered mythical creatures.

Many occult texts claim that the monkeys of today are a result of back crossing human DNA into monkey species long, long ago; and that they have been in regression ever since, turning less human with time.

#7I wonder if multiple talking species can possibly coexist, or if one of them inevitably ends up destroying it's competitors.

So how is trusting authority working out for you so far?
It's a piece of the puzzle, these stories come from somewhere. The general idea is to use your brain to put the pieces together.

You're right! Let's start looking for flying apes based on the legend of harpies and Icarus.

Multiple human species existed at the same time, but got assimilated into Homo sapiens sapiens of today.
