Humans didnt technically come from primates like evryone actually thinks the truth is that we a common ancestor and threw evolution we separated and developed differently. You can think of it like a tree humans apes primates all came from the same ancestor or branch but we are on different twigs so to speak so we broke apart and developed in different ways. However some things that humans have in common with primates are our metabolsiam, chromsomes make up and are DNA is actually 99% the same. but some other things are there hands, facial structure, and social groups. Although these parts of humans have further developed (ie. are thumbs) they are very similar to each other.
