of the world wielding the most power‚ are we that much different from other primates? No‚ we are not. Of course humans are different‚ but definitely not unique. We share too many characteristics to other primates like the chimpanzees‚ bonobos and gorillas. Characteristics like culture‚ speech‚ communication‚ having social classes would which may have been thought to unique to humans have also seen done by other primates. Humans may have been considered unique once upon a time‚ but now were closer

The terms ‘hominid’ and ‘hominin’ are frequently used in human evolution. New definitions The most commonly used recent definitions are: Hominid – the group consisting of all modern and extinct Great Apes (that is‚ modern humans‚ chimpanzees‚ gorillas and orang-utans plus all their immediate ancestors). Hominin – the group consisting of modern humans‚ extinct human species and all our immediate ancestors (including members of the genera Homo‚ Australopithecus‚ Paranthropus and Ardipithecus).
