Humans are chimpanzees.
There are 3 kinds of chimpanzees. There is the common chimpanzee, the bonobo chimpanzee, and there are humans.
So we are are the 3rd branch of the chimpanzee line.
We are barely different from chimps. We are awkwardly similar to chimpanzees and it's kind of bizarre.
One thing that we can do that chimpanzees can't do is that we can create symbols and that's one thing that really separates us from chimpanzees.
Besides that, verbal communication is easier for us than chimps but there have been a number chimps have been known to verbally communicate whether or not that's actual language.
There is one major difference between humans and chimps. This is an obvious difference and it makes us humans different.
This is walking upright.
So about 6 million years ago, we start walking upright. The oldest evidence of upright walking I believe was about 5.4 million years but pretty close to 6 million years ago. That mutation for whatever reason caused us to do that and there are bunch of theories to why this happened.
Walking upright seems to be very inefficient and really changed our species from 6 million years ago.
