What do you think if human now would extinct, what influence it would have Earth's flora and fauna.

 

In particular, how big possibilities would the apes have to reproduce and disperse on the our planet. Which ape would have the best possibilities: chimpanzee, gorilla or perhaps orang.

 

Would the disappearance of human to accelerate evolution of apes' intelligence.

depends on the possible evolutionary paths. I suspect that it would take a while for the meme to emerge again, but once it did, it's journey would be not as unlike our own as sci fi movies like to predict. also the odds of them all speaking English with a californian accent are quite slim.
