humans possess many unique characteristics but we also share a number of similarities with other animals.These similarities and differences are revealed through our genetic make-up, the ways our bodies are constructed and our behaviour. They help us to understand our place in the animal kingdom by allowing us to work out the evolutionary relationships between ourselves and other animals. Studies of our closest living relatives, the apes, also provide valuable clues about our early ancestors’ bodies and lifestyles.
Humans are classified as mammals because humans have the same distinctive features found in all members of this large group.
Humans are also classified within:
the subgroup of mammals called primates;and the subgroup of primates called apes and in particular the 'Great Apes'
Humans, however, also possess many unique characteristics and are therefore classified within a unique subgroup of the Great Apes called the hominins.
