Because they share features of both. They are bipedal where apes are generally not, they have a somewhat larger brain. Their hands are more adapted to holding things vs. climbing in trees. Their heads are sitting on top of their spinal column vs. rotated towards the back of the skull. These and other features show them some place between human and ape.
