No, taxonomy does. We ARE apes.

Then why don't we allow gorillas the right to vote? How can we lock up chimpanzees in zoos without due process? Chimps are people too.

Because they are not human.

Because they are not human.

No, they are not. Check your premises.

"Ape" isn't a species. As you know.
