Why do some animals have a heightened sense such as sight or smell?
Mammals need well developed senses for the same reason that all animals need well developed senses. The goal of every organism is to survive and reproduce. Mammals are heterotrophs, so in order to survive, they must eat. And mammals must sense food in order to find and eat it. Also, mammals need some way of detecting danger, such as a predator or a poisonous plant, so well developed senses are needed. Finally, mammals must sense out a mate in order to reproduce.

Are mammals the same as people?
Humans (Homo sapiens) are hominids, along with chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans. Hominids belong to the biological order of primates and all primates are mammals.It is incorrect to say that one species (H. sapiens) is "the same as" a whole class (Mammalia), but it is correct to say that our species is a member of that class, or, to put it simply, "humans are mammals".
What is the order in which humans evolved?
I think you're looking for a monkey-chimp-human sort of answer. However there is not a order in which humans evolved (and are evolving). Humans are most closely related to chimpanzees, followed by gorillas and then orangutangs.Not Orangutang->Gorilla->Chimp->Human.What I am saying is that the common ancestor of chimps and humans was around more recently than the common ancestor of humans and gorillas, which was more recent than the common ancestor of orangutangs and humans.After the close relatives you get monkeys then lemurs. Followed by rodents and then the rest of the mammals.
