"Primate" is the order which includes the family "Hominidae" (great apes.)
Modern humans are a sub-species within that family.
We are apes of the primate order.

Thanks for that. I've never understood it. How many "kingdoms" are there, anyway? How many classes, etc.? Do you know of a website where it's all spelled out in a simple straightforward way so a complete beginner can understand it? Thanks.

Hmmm... after looking at it, it seems to have some facial features that don't - quite - resemble human beings, either. I counted more than four or five. But, hey, who am I to say? Maybe there are plenty of humans who look just like that...
"We are apes of the primate order."
What do you mean, "we?" You speaking French? That skull doesn't look like any of my relatives... not even my in-laws.

Actually, apes belong to the Pongid family. Apes do not belong to the Hominid family.
