Human beings have evolved from chimpanzees. 

The given statement is true.

Human beings have evolved from chimpanzees. Rather, both human beings and chimpanzees have a common ancestor from a long time ago. That common ancestor is likely to have been neither human nor chimpanzee. 

Also, the first step of separation from that ancestor is unlikely to have resulted in modern chimpanzees and human beings. 

Instead, the two resultant species have probably evolved in their own separate ways to give rise to the current forms.
