In the exercise of tracing the family tree of species be considered certain things.

firstly there are multiple branches possible at each and every stage of this process.

So, it is not as if one species is eliminated to give rise to a new one. also it is not as if the newly generated species are in any way better than the older ones.

e.g. it is not true that human beings have evolved from chimpanzees. Rather, both human beings and chimpanzees had a common ancestor a long time ago.

the probably war in their own separate ways to give rise to the current forms.

therefore it is more appropriate to compare the process of evolution with branches of a tree rather than with the ladder.
