Are humans unique from primates?

Yes, humans are primates. But, one of the differences is, humans don't have hands for feet. The reason humans are primates is, we can both walk on 2 legs, we both have hands, but, we are omnivores and others are herbivores. They live in parts of a jungle though. We also live in different environments, other primates live in jungles.

Do you like feet?

I think most people would say they like feet because feet allow humans the ability to stand and to walk. If humans had no feet, they would have to constantly sit or to crawl on all fours. The structure of the ankle in humans, and the way a foot flexes, allows us to place the toes down first--which is vital to the physical ability to walk.
