Men are primates, but not apes. Apes have no human intelligence, nor a soul, though I'm beginning to question that of some men too. Just because we're genetically related doesn't make us one of them. The common housefly has 97 percent DNA commonality with us. Are you claiming we're bugs too?

Apes have no human intelligence
Humans have human intelligence. If humans are apes, then it logically implies that at least a subset of apes have "human intelligence".
nor a soul
You'll need to demonstrate the existence of a soul for this to even begin to have meaning.
It seems to me like you want to redefine "ape" simply because you're not comfortable with humans being classified as apes.
