If you disagree, feel free to support your belief by stating a set of characteristic features which delineate the ape family, which humans do not also share.
Just because an airplane flies and a bird flies doesn't make them of the same species. And by the way, a characteristic that apes and man don't share? Speech. And another: A brain which knows right from wrong. And another: Humans have souls
Apes might not speak English, but they certainly do communicate through sound.
And another: A brain which knows right from wrong.
Right and wrong are rules enforced by society. Groups of apes certainly enforce certain behavioral rules.
And another: Humans have souls
Where is the soul located? Has anyone ever actually seen one?
