How are human and primate brains alike?

Answer 1

Humans have opposable thumbs, which no other primates have

The structure of the human had allows room for additional muscle attachment

Hands are shorter and broader than other primates

Primates can use their feet to grasp things tpaolr-so can humans actually (;

Human grasp is more precise and strong

Answer 2

Human beings ARE primates--our hands thus share many characteristics with non-human primates. All primates have five digits, opposable thumbs and nails instead of claws (except for callitricids and some prosimians, who have revolved claws on some digits).

Answer 3

Since humans are classified as Primates the question could be considered to be faulty - however, it is fairly clear that what was probably intended was to ask about similarities between human anatomy and the anatomy of OTHER primates.

Speaking in generic terms we both have opposable thumbs. We also have that extra layer of fat on the side of our palms. We both live in groups with a hierarchical structure. We both have minimal facial hair allowing us to communicate with each other through facial expressions. Several facial muscles allow this to occur.

Answer 4

Both human and primate brains share similarities in overall structure, with both having complex networks of neurons and similar brain regions responsible for various functions such as cognition, emotion, and motor control. Additionally, both human and primate brains exhibit high levels of encephalization, meaning the brain size relative to body size is large compared to other animals. These similarities suggest a common evolutionary history and shared cognitive abilities.

Answer 5

Human brains are similar to that of other primates with the exception that the human neocortex is greatly enlarged compared to that of chimpanzees and other lower primates.

Answer 6

Because on the basis of similar characteristics we're part of the apes, together with chimpanzees, gorillas etc.

Answer 7

The ape and the man are very much same, even as the ape is larger , they both walk with a stoop.

Answer 8

through the use of it it has adapted to human use.........
