It is not something new when we hear the phrase "Humans are primates" based on some DNA evidence and some even go up to the extent to say that "Humans are the only primates that cry". There are different characteristics that suggests that there is a difference between the two, such as, communication, creativity, dwellings, services, mobility, etc. Let us take examples of some of these characters that define the difference between the two.
1. Humans have less porportion of the total body area that is covered by hair unlike primates such as apes.
2. The facial structure of humans include small eyebrow ridges, flat jaws and they also have larger lips as contrast to primates that have large jaw and thinner lips.
3. bipedal gait of humans in contrast to quadrupedal gait of primates.
ans 6a. : Yes, it would be very easy to distinguish a primate from a homosapien just by taking the example of walking manner, as explained above that humans are bipedal and primates are quadrupedal. So you won't find a human walking on all four limbs like an ape!
Ans 6b : HUmans will share the same characteristics and traits among themselves, some things that are not shared by other species.
